A bad idea. And for those who think that the creation of money should be left in the hands of the US Treasury, please consider a "freedom" alternative: allow private banks to compete with their own currencies, separate from all government ties and from ties to the Federal Reserve. Allow them to compete, and you will see consumers looking for currencies that retain their value, that are not hidden behind fractional reserves, and that are tradeable all over the world. You will see inflation go away, and DECREASING prices occurring thanks to productivity gains.

Allow for liberty to flourish.
