1) I have no idea what will take the place of the dollars we use. I live close enough to an area of the world wherein units of the largest cash crop somtimes buys huge favors - you give me a certain amount of this item, I give you the motorcycle I was going to put on E-Bay. (I am speaking here figuratively - I am not currently involved in this sort of thing. Too old for it I guess!)

So I would say that possibly we could go back to barter and trade. Numerous areas of the country printed their own currencies during the Great Depression. And at least one area in Upstate NY has been using alternate currency since the mid 1990's if not earlier.
