How about some local transportation tokens. I believe these were used from 1920 until around 1950. All found with a metal detector.

Just got this from DCarr. He was kind enough to send me the symbolic meanings for it. Very well thought out, as his Tokens always are.


The Puppet Masters side illustrates the real "fallout" from "helicopter money" schemes.
"Helicopter Money" is a term used by economists to describe the theory that in a fiat money system,
a deflation or depression can always be adverted by simply dropping enough $100 bills from helicopters.
My take on this is that any such "dropping" would never be free, and those entities in control will
always leave the strings attached. Another way to look at it is during the past decade, the economic
stimulus has done nothing more than to hook people deeper into debt, turning them into puppets
(slaves) to the major financial powers who create the money out of thin air in the first place.
The design also illustrates the collusion between three of these entities.

The "Money Weed" side illustrates a similar concept, but in a different way. When you partake of
the weed (take on debt), at first it seems fine. But later on it becomes like a drug addiction.
The only thing that seems to cure (temporarily) the situation is more liquidity (debt).
But eventually, it will and must lead to total liquidation (death).
