Real Money In The Form of FRNs

[palani]

Think about it. People consider these to be real money and they are. Don't they have a reflection when held up to a mirror? Is the reflection real or not?

A series of 11 volumes from the 1830s.


For form, that when a man is grown from an infant to an old man, though his matter be changed, yet he is still the same numerical man; for that identity , which cannot be attributed to the matter, ought probably to be ascribed to the form. For the aggregate of accidents, no instance can be made; but because, when any new accident is generated, a new name is commonly imposed on the thing, therefore he, that assigned this cause of individuality, thought the thing itself also was become another thing. According to the first opinion, he that sins, and he that is punished, should not be the same man, by reason of the perpetual flux and change of a man's body; nor should the city, which makes laws in one age and abrogates them in another, be the same city; which were to confound all civil rights. According to the second opinion, two bodies existing both at once , would be the same numerical body. For if, for example, that ship of Theseus, concerning the difference whereof made by continual reparation in taking out the old planks and putting in new, the sophisters of athens were wont to dispute, were, after all the planks were changed, the same numerical hip it was at the beginning; and if some man had kept the old planks as they were taken out, and by putting them afterwards together in the same order, had again made a ship of them, this, without doubt, had also been the same numerical ship with that which was at the beginning, which is absurd. But , according to the third opinion, nothing would be the same it was; so that a man standing would not be the same he was sitting; nor the water, which is in the vessel, the same with that which is poured out of it. Wherefore the beginning of individuation is not always to be taken either from matter alone, or from form alone.

FRN in itself is only a piece of paper with a number.....it only becomes a mode of exchange when you give it to some one in order to obtain something in return.........however......it can be more agreeable and valuable if exchanged for silver or gold.....or for something that in the future you will be able to trade for needed stuff......what is "junk" today will be very valuable tomorrow because it will be no longer obtainable.

Even the empty containers of jelly, peanut butter, ketchup, and so on, will become valuable..........this is from someone that saw it in his own land.
