Maybe we need a RealCent Token for trading amongst ourselves.
Peg it to silver. 1 RCT = 1/2 GRAM.

This forum is probably the only place around that already has Real Cents....although most bigger trades would take 90% or Eagles.

You probably couldn't call it a "cent" because "cent" refers to the 100th part of a "dollar," which is legal U.S. currency, and you can't mimic that. Isn't that one of the things that got the Liberty Dollar guy in trouble--actually calling it a "dollar"?
