I'm no economist but I wonder if keeping the L$ fixed to the US$ rather than a basket of currencies is such a wise idea? The deflation in the US$ lately means Aussies like me can buy 40% more L$ for our Aussie dollar in the last 12 months, but it also means that all our assets in SL have been loosing value.

Keeping reserves of L$ is kind of silly. It isn't real money but it sure can fall in value. LL must have taken a hit too just keeping L$ stable.
