Flecks of gold...  I believe they are mentioned in Literary
Machines but it may have been something else I read.
Supposedly they make a good unit of international exchange
and can be used to measure the *tiny* Xanadu charges for
reading a paragraph or sentence of a published document.

I'm not into precious metals investments so I have no
idea how sound they are for this application.
