Tbh, I'm pretty offended by the prospect of our Treasury hoarding currency we made specifically to circumvent their leverage over currency. Leaving their burglar to rot also bothers me as a Hobbit fan. It's like they give zero shits about teamwork.

I don’t see how it was ever going to do that, if the currency can be hoarded it will be.
