<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1356456, member: 22143&quot;]I can&#039;t figure out what you are talking about, but in historic times there are plenty of examples.&nbsp; The British Guinea, the first machine struck gold coin, equaled 20 shillings, and the value of a shilling was set to the worth of a cow in Kent or sheep elsewhere.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hence if you were in Kent from the 1600s to the early 1800s your gold coin would get you 20 cows.&nbsp; Note that during this period, when asset currencies were in use, there was no inflation.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would assume that 20 cows in those days represented a considerable amount of wealth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
