In all seriousness, I think that the only boundless currency is that of knowledge and spirit.

I'm tired of ranting.

Money is worth only what people think it's worth. One doesnt get something for nothing for any length of time.

But then later people begin to issue silver coins and now I don't even think most coins even have much silver in them. I think they have nickle or copper in the middle and are coated with silver or something.
Actually, USA pennies are copper from 1981 and back, however only about half are copper in 1982, and past that they are various useless metals. The government has been removing the copper coins as they like gold and silver are considered a precious metal (why do you think people strip abandoned buildings of the copper piping and wires) It is worth more than the coins value.
Just fyi. Been collecting 1981 and older coinds forever, 1982 is a waste of time as I do not like to sit there and cut coins, plus it defaces it.

Exactly how old are you?
No, I mean really.
C'mon man, for real
Read up on fiat money, that s money not based on any actual valuble substance.
There is no 'world currency' because there is world competition. That's why you dont look for or value or intend to become 'world pussy'. Interestingly enough though, in time some day you'll learn that the two are closely related

there are currents and an update of currents called currency. it is impossible to impose infinite currency from finite currents.it is not impossible to have infinite currency from finite currents as long as the imposition and "update" of a current is infinite in loop.
edit to add:
that your posts are weird; while not bad i think the communication barrier is going to be an issue.i comprehend the pretext of your type but i fear my reply will be as lost as paradise in sahara.
