We used the precious metal to get coins, it has given issues about the metal supply. Money as debt has no more credibility nowadays…. But “money value “ or “money debt” are emphasizing only the individual interest.
7000 years ago, the appearance of the first civilizations in Middle East and in India are probably related with a growth of the population and the need to create a common interest and useful rules ….The appearance of the first currencies is far later … 2600 years ago in Lydia … Why ?? probably because money was useful for international payments, but quickly adopted by small businesses, especially with the antic small copper coins.
So, an universal, rare and divisible value (precious metal) was useful. The goldsmiths get a rare advantage around banking activities….. In fact, the disconnection between money and a real commodity is very recent (only several decades).
With concepts like “Outsourced
Resources Banking” and “mitigative
business” (read post July 4th 2012) , my idea is simple : Making
currencies for the common interest.
