The economy in Shattered World (http://gecko.serc.rmit.edu.au/) has
been in place since circa 1993. Geoff Wong wrote a brief article on it
last May:
http://imaginaryrealities.imaginary.com/volume3/issue5/economy.html
Briefly, it's a zero-sum "loan standard economy" such that loans =
deposits + currency (that's "outstanding loans" and "total currency in
game"). This seems to work very well, especially coupled with their
"player defined" guild/class system (see
http://imaginaryrealities.imaginary.com/volume3/issue12/class_system.html
for Jenna's article on that).
