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.
