Good analogy for how Chaumian mints work:

You enter a casino and buy poker chips with Lightning. The chips all look the same. You can pass those chips around to other players.

When go back home, you give the chips back at the counter and get your money back on Lightning.

an anon pokerchip circular economy within a bar tab circular economy

I compare it to a gold-backed paper currency (deposit gold, get cash, move it around, can be redeemed for the same gold), but I guess casino chips are basically the same thing!

Funny thing is that a giod bunch of the population thinks we still have gold-backed paper currency. Not many know of fiat, as a word or a concept.
