Money you mean the illusion stuff they say they put in my account and then 
vanishes? Seriously I was reading that one of the earliest trade goods was 
flint and flint type stones. There are mines for flint in England.

Electronic money is nothing new, chances are you are Carring it in your wallet 
as read this.

I did try ages ago Andrew.  The premise that money evolved from barter (as 
proposed by A Smith) has long been thought untrue.  Barter to money has not 
been found in any known society, whereas debt systems have proved more or 
less ubiquitous.  David Graeber's 'Debt: the first 5000 years' has the 
argument.  Debt was regularly forgiven in jubilees after the death of kings 
and such.  The Sumerians knew agricultural/business and finance cycles were 
out of kilter.  Compound interest doubles debt more or less by dividing the 
interest rate into 70 - 7 years at 10%, 12 years at 6%. - thus $6 million 
in material and wages to build a bridge and $6.4  million in finance 
charges.

It's actually very difficult to get people to discuss money because they 
think they know what it is.
