Basically, if you want to use hemp, you grow that, collect it, and then whatever the value of your collected supply of it is, that determines how much the notes are worth at the time. If we have fifty 1 ACs/Ameros notes in circulation, but the reserve is only worth 7 USDs, then a 1 AC/Ameros note would be worth 7.14 US cents. Now you can see why having a substance as a standard that you can get a lot of is important for building up physical value quickly, and why inflation can become a problem if too many notes are put into circulation.

This system might work, at least in the short term, if managed correctly.
