While autism is no laughing matter, I don't think cryptocurrency is the best means for developing money skills. A game of monolopy? Perhaps. Or just... regular math.
"You buy a loaf of bread for $1.46, lunch meat for $2.84 and some sliced cheese for $2.13. Add a 7% sales-tax and figure out how much change you get back if you pay the cashier with a $20 bill"
That's learning money skills.
Or balancing a checkbook, or making up a budget to get through the month on a fixed income, etc.

30% of people that buy sliced cheese don't actually use it, so it's okay if the math doesn't make sense.

20-1.07*(1.46+2.84+2.13) = $13.12 in change. (or, 1 ten-dollar bill, 3 one-dollar bills, a dime, and two pennies)
Seriously, though, why was this thread reopened? We all know this is a terrible - not to mention vaguely insulting - idea. Let's leave it at that.
Well, I didn't realize it was closed when I responded to it. Then I saw it was closed previously.
The options I was faced with was either re-open the thread since I had responded to it (admins/mods can respond to closed threads), keep it closed and make my response the last/final response, or just remove my last response since it prompted discussion.
My bad. I'm sure Martin will be asking the same question since he originally locked it.
