Only because some others kept insisting on it so I used it as an example because obviously no one seemed to be listening to my many alternatives to it and I don't really have much control over what they do as of yet...and I bent under pressure. I kind of regret even refering to that damned economic theory in the first place.I am critical of some aspects of the actual economic theory when put in place on a macronational scale (issues of economic inflation and value reduction), but I am especially critical of it because of its standard basis, which is an illegal (and should be illegal) drug. I once ran into this theory on an economics forum and I just happened to remember it earlier today. Honestly, I believe the hemp standard and its supporters are just trying to find a gateway to legalizing marijuana in the United States, but out of that, I saw the concept for using something besides precious metals as a currency standard. That is what I really want to propose here to the members of the American Union.

I'd strongly suggest it be something that is grown that is benign and not a drug of any kind, like my country's oranges for example.

I'm not a natural speaker, and so I have made numerous mistakes here today, both in trying to foster good relations with other countries who's citizens and rulers hold different views on certain issues, and I have made failures in using the right language to explain my points. I have failed to fully address everyone, I try to avoid speaking for just myself, for just the people who support one idea or the other.

When it comes to trying to foster good relations between the various nations of the AU, I have failed, because appealing to sides fails. A union can have disputes, but it has to be unified, and an action that will alienate some members is in no way a way to bind a union together as a whole. I might know some things about economics, national politics, and micronationalism, but I honestly don't know what I'm doing when it comes to union politics.

Here is the basic theory of which I will call the Nonmetal Standard. An item is chosen to build up a reserve of. The value of the total amount of items in US dollars or US cents is recorded. The total value of the face value of the bills/coins in circulation is added up. Then the face value total is divided by the reserve value, and the resulting decimal or whole number is how much an Americoin/Ameros is worth in US dollars or cents. So if a Americoin is worth 7 cents, then 1 AC can buy a single item priced at 7 cents, or 7 AC can buy 7 items for 49 cents and so on.

To make it plain and clear, it must be something that is renewable or easily collected and not immoral, illegal, or questionable. Everyone understand? Ok, good.
