I see.  And payment of e-gold as an expense...  

The IRS has some rules for taxation of barter trade, altho I am not 
familiar with them.  I expect the IRS would treat use of e-gold as 
a form of barter.

Another (much less likely) possibility is that the IRS would treat trade
in terms of e-gold just like it does the business of corporations that
do substantial business in a "foreign currency".  How is that handled
without getting into the same problem of accounting for every single 
transation of a foreign branch as a foreign exchange speculation?
