What if you wrote some software that created DeflationaryDollars that you could sell to people?

As in, creating software to produce a database which you call hmm maybe a "Softcoin" and you would limit the supply by typing an arbitrary number in the source code, say 21,000,000?

After you run the software to generate the coins, you can sell them to other people and tell them the coins are rare. Maybe you can leave a few coins to be generated by other people too, that way they you can let them feel like they're part of it.

Ahhhh, I see now. Well, yes, of course I was thinking about those Softcoin, but preferred using values in "dollars" that would make some sense to the reader ;)
