AVMs have been placed in bookstores on SFU’s Burnaby, Vancouver, and Surrey campuses. - Phoebe Lim

With our university’s bookstores now accepting Bitcoins, it seems SFU is on track to a future less dependent on traditional institutions like regular money. While itís at it, here are 12 other types of currency we would like to see SFU accept in the future.

1. Magic beans (just no family cows)

2. Galleons (should goblin workers be next?)

3. Galactic credit standard (Jedi mind trick)

4. Gil (is this real life, or Final Fantasy?)

5. Rupees (better get smashing pots)

6. Schrute bucks (#Dwightatorship)

7. Pogs (remember those?!)

8. Canadian Tire money (finally useful)

9. Pennies (they’re making a comeback)

10. Monopoly money (duh)

11. Beanie Babies (until we flood the market again)

12. I.O.U.s (you know we’re good for it)
