[531] Ranger: Gold and silver, by
nature, are minerals that are extracted from the earth. These
two minerals, by nature, serve the purpose of conducting
electricity and heat. Gold and silver also can be used as
utensils or tools. Subsequently, gold and silver are not by
nature money.
On the other hand, money is by nature gold and silver. Gold
and silver inherently embody the requirements needed of a
money. Gold and silver can be measured quantitatively,
through measurement by weight. Gold and silver can be divided
into smaller parts and reunited back to an equivalent sum.
Pure gold and silver are also able to maintain a consistent
quality. Since gold and silver inherently posses these
qualities, “money is by nature gold and silver.” |
