BerkShares Say F-You to US Dollar

United States separatist in Great Barrington, MA have begun to print and circulate their own currency, know as the BerkShare. After almost a year since its inception, the BerkShare is accepted at over 280 local businesses. “I just love the feel of using a local currency,” said Trice Atchison, 43, a teacher who enjoys the contact high from handling BerkShares, which are laced with LSD. Over the last ten months the BerkShares have become a regular part of the local economy and are one-to-one convertible to US Dollars.

This is not the first time a private American group has printed its own money. Most notably, Halliburton introduced a currency known as the “Iraqi Dinar” to the formerly independent country of Iraq. A spokesman for Halliburton explained that, “the best way to exploit an oil-rich nation is to control its economy—and now we f*cking print the god-damned money!”
