Little Purses for Big Money
Coin purses from the olden days ….
When the coins were small & made of gold & silver and their value was huge!
When there was no fiat money or fiduciary money that was unbacked by gold
When the money and the gold itself were one!
Purse 2
Purse 3
Purse 4
But the good old days are gone…
We must now make do with paper money that is not even a promisory note backed by gold.
And we must make do with bags made by Prada and Gucci & such…
And I was told that WE are the evolved ones compared to our ancestors!!
