Interestingly, mad-cap victorian rhymester edward lear can point us to the original purpose of currency, which was to wrap honey in for transportation. sadly the original purpose became confused over time, and is today almost entirely lost, with people generally now storing and transporting their honey in jars rather than money. It's my view that were we to have reverted to the original correct usage of money, much of the current unpleasantness could have been avoided
