Barternotes?

In the 1980s I was into the Sticker Trade as a child.   Kids would be trading stickers for other stickers - colorful ones, Scratch & Sniff, reflective stickers, Celebs, etc.  If I wanted one particular sticker I offered several of my stickers for that one; this was a Barter Exchange.  If the person had multiples hidden from view, he would be making capital gains off of me.  This idea gave rise to the Barternote - a currency supported by simple Barter Exchanges.  If I offer the USA Treasury One Barternote (autographed by me) for $40 Trillion USD in Debt, perhaps they would take it, thus erasing the debts?  What is debt worth? 40 Trillion pieces of paper for one Barternote autographed by Mike Costa - it's a cool deal right?  When my first book (Eye of the Pharaoh) was stolen and published by its reviewer after 1991, in 1994 I decided Fame was not for me so I declared myself "dead."  Everyone believed this, including the CIA. So my existing copies of the book accelerated in value overnight by those who wanted to "cash in on my demise."  I never saw this profit as I am "deceased."  From $17 face value to $50k on the black market, some 20 Million copies sold according to the FBI.  I should be a Trillionaire, but since I am "dead" I cannot collect on it.  My heirs will though (according to my LW&T).  So what do you want to do? My offer stands.
