It just seemed such a huge swing that I questioned the source data. I did not realize that it was quantity of Lindens for dollars US that was being tracked. I will go back to polishing my nails now and wishing I had purchased Lindens at the moment it would have given me 100,000L for every $1.00 USD. Anyone have any idea why that happened and who bought at that rate? TIA Ah, thanks, Lawrence. It just seemed such a huge swing that I questioned the source data.

A stable exchange rate means that money supply and money demand are in balance. There are three major ways that new money enters Second Life: signup bonuses to new residents (the free money given at registration if you supply payment info, and the bonus for becoming a premium member), member stipends, and money sales by Supply Linden. There are other minor money sources, such as Linden-sponsored competitions and money spent by Lindens for in-world products. (I believe they get stipends for personal expenses much as premium members do, but if LL wanted resident-produced products for a public build they would probably just create money to buy them.) There were others in the past, including dwell payments and instructor payments. Money exits the economy as well. Fees for uploads, meeting place listings, and classified ads return money to the Lindens. Money sitting idle in the accounts of residents who no longer use Second Life may be technically part of the money supply, but doesn't have any real effect on the demand for money. At present, money is entering SL more quickly than it leaves, which is appropriate for a growing economy. Broccoli: keep in mind that the money supply keeps growing as well.
