It is artificial. Prior to paper and metal, our species traded food, animals and even children.
I wish you would stop stupidly assuming we are in disagreement. I think you simply love disagreeing with me just to do so.
In sports every sport has different scoring schemes. In the NFL a score or "touchdown" is worth 6 points prior to extra point. In soccer a score is worth 1 point. In Tennis the first point is 15. But all of those themes represent one completion of a score.
Yen represents Japanese Currency. Euro represents European currency.
Our species existed long before our creation of paper currency and coins. Just like we existed before the NFL, MLB, Pro soccer or golf.
And that’s what currency IS you knucklehead - a placeholder for the value of goods and services exchanged.
Suppose you buy something (call it a widget) that costs $20. In addition to $20 being worth one widget, it is also worth 250 doohickies. What’s easier - carrying a $20 to Widgets R Us, or carrying 250 doohickies?
