You get a lump of putty from the bank worth x pounds/dollars/whatever, and to pay for stuff, you simply break off the relevant amount.
If someone gives you money, you simply add it to the ball.
Different colours equal different values, so you need not carry huge lumps to make large purchases.
Some
kind of chemical analysis would deal with forgeries etc.
Plus, it bounces!

+ I like it, but will we have to carry those little plastic eggs as wallets? |
|
| |
My pocket is full of change and it won't wash out... |
|
| |
There will be people trying to make gold out of the base colors. |
|
| |
Would counterfeiting be done by placing your money against color-inked paper? |
|

"I'm sorry sir, we can't accept this silly putty check. It bounced." |
|
| |
Harharhar. Funny to see you bouncing around the HB, [Afro]. |
|
| |
Good one, [AfroAssault]. Good to see you. |
|
| |
Can we get little decorated molds to squish out precise amounts of putty? |
|
| |
I could see this extrude out of an atm,
could you select different shapes? |
|
| |
In all fairness isn't gold very similar? |
|
| |
ATM machines would take the form of the Play Doh fun factory, where you slide the slider thing to make different shaped putty worms!
|
|
| |
"In all fairness isn't gold very similar?" - You must have had very rich parents! |
|

I want to add something, but I can't. I've got to go cash this... ball of silly putty? [+] |

[MikeOliver] I was refering to 24 carat
gold's properties of malleability and
ductility. |
|
| |
<snickers at [startep]'s parents not being able to afford the bouncy 24 carat gold> |
|
| |
Of course we'll have to abandon the phrase "hard cash". |
|
| |
And concepts like liquidity in favour of: Fluidity. |
