Ahh, the infamous Republic of Texas dollars. That is a scam started by the ‘interim president’ of the Republic a few years ago. They may not have been stopped yet because they are only used by a few kooks for trading and not sold as a fake legal tender on a national level.

Is that what he's talking about, or the case of a number of businesses that accept Mexican currency?

Some downtown establishments in Austin have accept a script/currency to exchange for goods and it’s like using regular cash. Similar to the BerkShares. http://www.berkshares.org/localcurrency.htm#whatare
