How are you, Gentleman. All your buck are belong to us.

To fight the slowly-crashing L$ and counter the freak audacity of the Anshe$, I am founding a new currency: The BurkeBuck.

It is backed by a jar full of lose change in the closet of my Office/Apartment, aka Godswitch Industries.

BurkeBucks will be printed in SL, as NoCopy/Transfer items. They will be available in 1, 5, 10, 25,42,100 and 1,000 Buck increments. As per usual, only a limited amount will be released weekly as I count up my pocket change after work and dump it in the jar. In approximately a month I will be getting a SECOND JAR, so your investment will be increasing with symbiotic interest all the time. Unless I have a craving for a coke from the apartment coke machine.

The currency exchange site is still in development, but I'm allowing people to start buying into my B$ now! Several people are already full of B$ and will become B$ Barons in their own right.

Scripts for vendors and payment systems to use B$ will be available shortly.

Love ya lots, but some of you suck.
Burke Prefect, the king of B$

I fully endorse this product, and will accordingly set at 1-1 initial exchange rate between BurkeBucks and Taco$ .

I'm filing a case against you, everyone knows the B$ is the Baphomet Dollar.

You know you can trust my B$.

Soy muy en cuestión a que el cambio entre B$, L$, y Lindinero es difícil de entender y necesito ser tocado violentamente hasta que llega a estar completamente claro.

You don't need a hooker. Any girl will do if you know how to work your B$ well. :cool:

You sure this is a good idea? I mean... starting a currency is a little low, even for a bad joke. I mean, what if someone wants to exchange them for real money? Or weapons?

Weapons? That's a great idea! They say an armed society is a polite society.

Real money and weapons? Keep thinking like that and you'll be up to your ears in B$ in no time!

Okay. Here's what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna make a machine tonight that'll let you buy a BurkeBuck by feeding it varying amounts of L$. That way you can get a little padding for when the real fun comes.

But I think every single post so far has directly been on the topic of the Burke Buck. :(
