I know, I've been paid in baked goods, plants and old toys myself... But apparently some currencies have government restrictions on conversion, including the Cuban peso and the malatsian ringett which "is not convertable (from ringett to another currency) outside of malaysia" according to one of my twitter peeps (Maya).

I cannot understand how anything, and I mean anything, cannot be converted to money of some type. They even managed to convert rocks into money not to long ago (remember “pet rocks”). As far as converting goats into dollars (as well as chickens, a dog, a horse, moonshine, a saddle, several beat up vehicles, some property, brownies, peanut butter candy, cheese, eggs and some things I cannot remember)all are convertible (or usable). I know – I have been paid in all of them.
