Yeah but currency =/= wealth

Currency does not equal wealth.

Currency is money.

but you accumulate currency and money

that is the point

it is used as a standard for equivalent values

Maybe in today's world but for all intents and purposes currency at its base is something you trade (or in your case turn in) for commodity

Which is what wealth is, when you have a lot of currency.

Nobody gets anything off of vouchers except commodities

No wealth is a combination of currency and commodities

nobody takes your vouchers for the shit you bought

But the vouchers would still be currency.

Even if there was no excess.

it's basically a certificate of having labored

So you can have a voucher and not work more than once and just keep taking and taking?

Sick dude sign me up for your commune

Don't even have to destroy it after use...

It is like welfare money!

you get it for working

So a salary?

needs are distributed

Yeah you get it once and use it over and over again

How is this not currency again?

ummm, no

Since noone takes and destroys it

you don't reuse it

nobody takes your vouchers

do you not understand this

I've typed this 50 times over

So you accumulate your vouchers?

you don't gain other people's labor vouchers

Though they lose their value

I just said you fucking didn't

@Horse Shmeat Do you show your notes to the cashier?

Well you have a collection of used vouchers in the end clearly

nobody takes your vouchers and earns them

That's a lot of dead trees

@Horse Shmeat So you just end up with a pile of paper that has no use other than toilet paper?

Or do you prefer stone tablets

You are going to end up with a lot of worthless items in the end.
