When you barter with Gulf Coast Trade Exchange, you can turn inventory or staff time directly into Trade Dollars, which you can use throughout the network--instead of spending cash. In the process, you can boost sales, acquire important assets or travel perks for your family and your staff while improving the bottom line.

The systems generally work like this: Businesses and individuals form a network to print currency. Shoppers buy it at a discount — say, 95 cents for $1 value — and spend the full value at stores that accept the currency.

The Federal Reserve Bank has a built-in safeguard against that: taxes. Taxes must be paid in Federal Reserve Notes.

They have to be paid in US dollars. Doesn't matter whether that dollar is a FR Note, a US Note, a Silver Certificate, an ASE, or a hundred wheat pennies. A dollar is a dollar. If you are dead set against paying your taxes in FRNs, go down to the local numismatist shop and buy a stack of obsolete currency, deposit it at the bank, and write a check on it.
