Why is cash hard? Yes, I know the old trick of biting into a gold coin — if it was pure gold, the coin broke, if it was fake, your teeth did. That doesn’t quite explain it, does it?
In my opinion, its hard because they want to protect the gold sides from those who are trying to grind/separate them from the other metals inside the coin. That was just my opinion though.
Thats a weird question mate lol the gold is said to be hard cash because it is very liquid and can be converted into cash anytime , if thats what your question is mate?
I guess the word came after the IT word soft like soft copy for any document. May be from then money got different name like if it is in hand then it is called hard case and if it is just in your account then it is known as soft money. Though not sure mates.
