That's Why They Call It Money!

At http://hbhmain.blogspot.com/ I've managed to devote the day to money. I came across an article that mentioned the fact that silver had antibacterial properties, which made my mind run to the times when payments were made in silver and gold, and those coins literally moved worldwide.

Aside for all the other reasons gold and silver are used as money,...
it kills germs! The medium of trade, which by definition might move germs worldwide, actually kills germs.

Then I find out gold does too... and although Platinum is too recently developed to every be used as coins, there are platinum coins for sale, and guess what, it is antibacterial too.

Aside from few other articles, it is money day at the news roundup!
