<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SCNuss, post: 89885, member: 3609&quot;]While I do not claim a expertice in international monitary policy, I do know that precious metals (whether in the form of coins, or not) were not the sole, or even the major medium of exchange for much of history. Foodstuffs, salt, animal hides, whiskey, and even tulip bulbs were used as a currency at varying times. &quot;Money&quot; is simply an a item with a promised value, to use as medium of exchange (excepting bullion coins).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
