Re: Definition of money.

["John Gelles" <jjgelles@xxxxxxxx>]

	Money is conventional paper money and coins
	that people need for the things it buys.

	It is also check and credit card payments that in
	fact do all the things that money does.

	It is also anything that substitutes for money when
	there is none around, as when a previous money
	has lost all value.

	Things other than money can be valued at the
	amount of money they're worth.

	Wealth is measured by its value in money and
	may include actual money.

	A society without money has a harder time
	getting people to work together.  Money is a
	universally desired reward for doing things you
	might not do without it.

	Like porn, people cannot define it but know
	it instantly if they find it.
