but you need a police force to enforce fiat :)

You need a police force to enforce contracts and there is no system of exchange that can survive without contract.

No...you need a justice system to enforce contracts: contract law and dispute resolution pre-dates the idea of a police force by hundreds of years. Breaking a contract is a purely civil matter.

The police usually don't investigate tort law, only criminal law. When the police do get involved in civil law disputes it can get quite controversial.

So does centrally controlled currency...
