Dont you understand a static money system will ruin the economy unless it is run by an actual player organization who only print money they can back. If its just an endless supply of paper money or coins that have no use other than buying stuff then the economy will experience Hyper-Inflation!
The economy works now because lets say I have 10 axes which I dont need, now if i really wanted a scythe i might trade 2 axes for one but i dont want a scythe I want a sword so I might trade 2 axes for a sword, so depending on the situation things will have more or less value to me, but with paper money the money just has the value that is printed on it because it has no alternative use other than buying stuff.
