Message:: [QUOTE="jody526, post: 12834, member: 578"]Hi Micheal, That is some very interesting and thought provoking writing.Yes I usually think of coins and currency that has been issued by a country's government when I think of "money". However, there are so many other possibilities.I collect tokens. CWT's. HTT's, transit, but mostly local merchant tokens. There's no doubt that these were just as good as money. And what about the cupons my wife clips from the newspaper?How about barter? Items for trade? Services in exchange for goods? Seems the possibilities are almost endless.It's just easier for me to think of "cash" when I think of the word "money", although deep down inside, There will always be the realization that it has, and will continue to, present itself in many fashions. Good topic.[/QUOTE]
