In honor of my Independence Day and celebrating 17 years as a sovereign nation, I minted new currency. The new 500 Kronicle note is no longer pegged to the Chinese Yuan and is currently floating. These notes are worth $1.0462 as of today. The new 500 Kronicle note features a lion playing a fiddle, ladies at work and Yap Island Rai Stones. The new notes are also an experiment in demurrage currency. The notes are set to lose value weekly starting 9/1/15 unless stamped by me.
