Replacement Currency

http://rt.com/business/france-currency-alternative-euro-415/

I started my own currency in 1990s called "Barternotes."
I printed them off my computer, they had colorful abstract art and slogans.
The idea was to use them as leverage in Barter exchanges. Now I use them on business cards which are easier to exchange. Barternotes can be exchanged per unit number (75 items for a 75 unit numbered note; "75 Barternotes") or for one or multiple variety of cards, like one would trade a bank note for (i.e. A "$100" Note for an object with said value in US$D). Community Currencies started after my design was public. Some of my slogans found their way into Hollywood and a number of films mentioned the unique slogans (one said "Revenge is Justice" [Egyptian Deity Horus is a god of revenge and justice], and in 2 films of Xena: Warrior Princess and also in Batman Begins they mentioned the slogan). When trading information on a Barternote, it is considered "sold" when someone uses it; so Hollywood "owes me compensation for using the slogan without permission," because I never traded the Barternote to anyone in Hollywood. It is like using someone else's credit card. This is not the same as Copyright Infringement, which does not protect slogans, facts, or ideas.

Welcome to my blog.

I am an Author, Archaeologist (B.A. in Archaeology & Biological Anthropology, '99), Egyptian Afterlife Priest (Kheri-Heb) & a Pharaoh of Duat, visual artist, Micronationalist, and computer game modifier. I have written over 137+ books so far. My books are my paper monuments. I hope you enjoy them. I also made computer game "Mods"(over 300) for the computer game, The Elder Scrolls-V: Skyrim, on Steam Workshop/Nexus Mods (2012-2021), some with multiple star ratings.

I believe in reincarnation to comprehend future actions as based on past life actions, and direction in one's life. I believe my past life visits to Egypt influence and inspire me with their culture. My first publisher (1992) was a Psychologist at CSU Hayward/East Bay in California; she believed my fictional first novel was about real information, as did the US Government and NSA/CIA. When she published it she sold some $50M in as yet unpaid royalties, and when I alerted the Govt. about this, they confiscated it from her and paid me nothing, then asked a terror group (AQ) if "any American knew of their plans for global conquest" and started harassing Iran about their "Nuclear weapons" issues (Chapter 20-21). I researched Ancient Egypt prior to writing Eye of the Pharaoh (c.1990, 1995), I had read about 12 non-fiction books for that project. Content appears in the film, The Mummy Returns. The publisher died in 2020 from brain Cancer.

I self-publish now because I cannot trust people, plus I can control the books better with regard to design, availability and royalties. Follow me on Twitter: @HorusMichaelM7.
