Abstract

This paper shows how negative interest rates can be implemented \ at much less cost than under alternative proposals \ by separation of the account and means of payment roles of money \ i.e. by having these roles performed by different moneys. Such separation has been far from unusual in history, however unnatural it may seem to those whose experience is of model non-separated monetary systems. One possibility discussed is that the means of payment role of cash could be provided by local currencies rather than a national currency.
