What does it take to qualify as a coin? I can see it qualifying as an egg. Or even bullion. But a coin?
The people selling it say so, and the people buying it also say so. I guess that's all it takes nowadays is for someone to "Say So". watch
I found this bucket of gold coins. Some would say it is a bucket of wheel weights. I say it's gold. Anyone else that says so can split my gold with me.
At one time or another various items are traded as money. One country traded sea shells. The larger the shell the more it was worth. I guess eggs can be traded and called money as well.
I guess if you gotta have one ya gotta get one. I like. But what the heck would I do with it. I already got a snow globe on my desk
