Stats on the fate of monies

Been looking for a while for some statistics on currencies, and finally found something that was not the quote of a quote of a quote with the source nowhere in sight. It came from a quirky page by the name of DollarDaze.org, see here. I didn't check the numbers and don't know how trustworthy is the page otherwise, but at least their data is laid out for everyone to see and check. And that's quite something in the depths of Internet. As always, exercise due caution. Pestergaines 03:03, 17 August 2011 (MSD)

Money examples

For something completely different, see here - a laundry detergent (Tide, source) is being used as an alternative currency in the more alternative parts of the society. Pestergaines 19:13, 22 March 2012 (MSK)

Altruism

"Money is a formal token of delayed reciprocal altruism." - Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene.

Well that's certainly an interesting perspective. Nathan Larson (talk) 11:16, 12 December 2013 (MSK)
