Albert had created a currency based on gold bullets and McDonald__ game pieces. He__ wanted to call the currency something else, but no one remembered what. So, __ertos they were, a play on __lbert,_ coined by Howard, of course, who had also come up with __he FAYZ_ to describe their weird little world.Sam had thought Albert was nuts with his obsession with creating money. But the evidence was in: Albert__ system was producing just enough food for kids to survive. And a lot more kids were working. Far fewer were just hanging out. It was no longer impossible to get kids to go into the fields and do the backbreaking work of picking crops. They worked for __ertos and spent __ertos, and for now at least starvation was just a bad memory.
