Money Words
Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2010 6:43 pm
After reading thejazzgirl's post (Here) I was intrigued by the word peso. It took me further than I expected. It turns out, and I shouldn't have been surprised, that most money words have to do with weight.
Peso, Pound, and many others all have this in common. The weights varied, but not the fact.
So, what I'm getting at here is this, does anyone out there have a monetary system that is not based on weight? If so, how does it work?
