Portugal Considers Paying Public Workers In Treasury Bills Instead Of Cash
Money shot:
"By paying one month of salary in T-bills to public workers and pensioners, the government would save an estimated €1.1 billion in expenses, narrowing the budget gap significantly."
I will be interesting to see how this would be incorporated - my guess is the bill holders receiving a receipt for bonds kept in trust by the Govt. Is it possible for something to be worth less than nothing...?
Since the bond and the cash will shortly be worth the same thing, I think the answer to your question is, technically, 'no'...
