I can appreciate nearmiss's point (should that be nearmissus? How does one represent the possessive noun here? English can be so complicated)
Anyways, back on track: what about a nice stuffed badger? In my limited research I have yet to discover the Meles Meles being used as a formal currency anywhere in the world and each and every person to whom I have gifted one of these noble beasts has expressed nothing but the most gracious thanks.
Prince Philip keeps his on the bedside table, and I an given to understand that Sarkozy cannot perform without his badger keeping a watchful eye upon proceedings.
Just a suggestion - we may not pay them, but surely we can bestow wondrous gifts upon the good folk of TD.
