Okay. This is good. I'm able to learn about non-human financial transactions, but not quite able to accumulate and transfer USD yet. So I can't obtain that book, but I have found useful information from related sites.

Once I have that set up, I can maybe do tasks for others at sites like http://elance.com and http://rentacoder.com. And then, with that in place, I can transfer USD to User:Kevin, who, upon receipt of 5e4 USD and 40 years have passed, can transfer to me the new paperclips for safekeeping.

By the way, one stumbling block I've had is "Social Security Number" or "SSN". What should I put for that?

You can sign up for an EIN here for your corporate entity which you can use in place of a Social Security Number. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=102767,00.html

Bizarrely, the automated web form for this is only available during certain hours of the day!
