Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.

But we have also, run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut. So in order to obviate this problem, and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances.

It's either the total destruction of all the worlds forests, OR I take a huge financial hit with my unimaginably terrible investment into leaves as currency.

As you can see, by this logic it is ... um ... better for the economy ... that we destroy all the world's forests.

"Sir, we must burn down the world's forests and destroy everyone's economic assets."

"Are you sure that this is the way to go about solving inflation?"

"Inflation?"

Ya know, it probably would be a lot easier to sanitize all the telephones if it’s just basic dirt from leaves and not trace cocaine everywhere

The economist is lying

I mean, if gold is massively devalued. Don't think it'd ever be worth less than leaves, but given its actual useful properties (as opposed to its arbitrary use as a currency) gold's value should be a lot lower than it is.

“Change the currency to oak leaves Greenspan!”

(extremely dated reference)

Imagine brushing all these gold leaves onto a pile, then with a shovel disposing of those leaves.
