As I told Jim - if my country would get rid of its paper dollars and go to the
dollar coin that would happen, quickly. However, the idea of paper currency
backed by nothing more than trust and having an actual worth somewhat less than
bum fodder is firmly entrenched in this country.

      Title: Leather Britches Beans (Fodder Beans)
 Categories: Five, Beans, Preserving, Pork
      Yield: 1 recipe

           Green Beans
           Salt & Pepper
           Lard Or Bacon Grease
           Water
 
  String very full beans as you would for cooking, but do not
  break them. Thread beans on twine, using just enough beans
  on each string for one or two meals. Then drop them into a
  brine of 1/2 cup coarse salt and one gallon of water for 15
  minutes. Drain on newspaper. The brine will keep bugs away
  from your beans. Hang the strings of beans on wire or rope
  in a dry place for at least three weeks. Make sure they are
  completely dry or they will mold. 
 
  Prior to cooking the dried beans, pour lots of boiling water
  over the beans and soak overnight. In the morning, wash the
  beans well and cover with water in a pan. Cook for 2 hours;
  then add salt, lard or bacon grease, and pepper. Finish
  cooking about 2 hours more, adding water as needed.
