Well Daniel wanted to know if it was really possible, though. I'm saying no it's not for the following reasons: - nothing can ge guaranteed to be not counterfeit-able, although public key encryption can maybe help - anonymous digital currency transfer is not politically feasible - digital currency transfer (cash or no) requires a strict double-entry system, which can't be done on peer-to-peer, anonymous transfers of tokens In short, digital cash holds as much promise as DRM.
