Nor Niven's "Yet Another Modest Proposal: The Roentgen Standard" - make coins out of radioactive waste. (https://www.larryniven.net/?q=yet-another-modest-proposal-th... albeit with an SSL certificate error.)
Oh, I don't know. I quite like radioactivity. My Dad (RAF bomber pilot) had a pilots watch with radium luminous dials. I always fancied getting it after his death, about 12 years ago, but nobody could find it - my brothers denied all knowledge, and I have absolutely no reason to doubt them. So it must be somewhere irradiating the roaches that will become our inevitable successors.
