If we infer that the laws of the U.S. are a "contract" by Agoran 
definitions of Contract, we could actually infer that U.S. dollars were
a contract-backed Agoran currency, and therefore subject to self-
ratification.  But (by recent judgement), what ratifies is the complete
list of currency holdings (everybody's dollars).  So upon a CoE, the 
recordkeepor would be required to provide a listing of everybody's
dollars.
