Ha! the wooden nickel, finally!
Re: New currency?
I keep trying to fight the high price of lumber by watching for hot deals. I spent this morning planing 50 bd ft of rough sawn Red Oak I bought about 2 months ago for $1 a board foot. As long as I manage to find deals like that, the price isn't bad yet.
The wood looked pretty bad rough sawn and a bit weathered, but it looks like premium lumber now that I have it planed and cleaned up.

When the Birch-Coins fail as currency you could use them for biscuit joints.

LOL My guess they would be worth more than bitcoins ?

Aren't bitcoins made out of thin air? That might be more valuable than wood if you live in an area where the air is polluted.
