<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1248643, member: 22143&quot;]It&#039;s not my list.&nbsp; Every article on the properties of currency lists this as qualities for a good currency.&nbsp; I probably left a few out as I did it from memory.&nbsp; Jewels, which were available in ancient times, do not make good currency because they fail the divisibility test.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you cut a diamond in half it becomes worthless and it can&#039;t be recombined.&nbsp; On you last point, this is why gold is always alloyed with another metal to make it harder.&nbsp; This is why all circulating gold coins were combined with other metals.&nbsp; Gold&#039;s atomic properties make it easy to refine this extra metal out should the owner wish to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
