Jessie has a point:
Paper money is real only as long as people accept it.
This is/was real money, during a time when the Gov. printed way too much:

Burning real money to heat the house



Kids playing with 'large blocks' of real money




Here is a modern example.
Of course, this could never happen to the USA.

About the Bitcoin PHP miner thing, it is possible(there is an OpenCL plugin available), but without any threads it is going to be slow, since it would need to fetch,decode work before going back in the loop.
With threads, a queue is made where it's constantly filled and stats are displayed asynchronously.
