A rectangular piece of paper/plastic or a scrap of metal that you can trade for pretty much anything; Food, shelter, water. warmth,
happiness, laughter, wires, boxes, ropes, chains, knives, paper, plastic, metal, and
even an animal. In fact, money is more than a rectangular piece of paper/plastic or a scrap of metal. It is essential to human life. It is hated. It is loved. But, most importantly, it is a way for all humans to connect. That circular piece of metal, hidden away, discarded in your pocket has touched so many other grubby
human fingers. Fingers which have touched so many grubby
human things. Things which have been touched by other grubby
human fingers. So, in a way, that penny, cent, doubloon is something that all humans can share, even dead ones.
