That is a very shallow interpretation and certainly not what I believe is intended with all the dollar sign stuff. I do agree that was not one of the best thought out portions of the book, but it is a worship of freedom not an actual currency that is intended. Remember it was sort of a joke in the first place when he gave Midas the sculpture.

On further thought, the only worship I remember being encouraged is of self, though worship probably isn't the right word there either.
