<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nerva, post: 2774515, member: 87761&quot;]Thank you for sharing that beautifully stupid article. It makes me feel superior when I read something like that. It&#039;s not just numismatists cringing. Economists universally recognise three functions of money: unit of account, store of value and medium of exchange. This guy fudges that basic definition and adds a fourth that&#039;s just repetitive. And historians would question the claim that early exchanges of goods over long distances are evidence that money was in use. We have the Armana Letters showing evidence of complex gift relationships. It really is a bungled mess from start to finish. Much like the Smithsonian in recent years, alas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
