Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Works, Vol. 5 of 6: Political, Metaphysical, and Chronological The Princes of Hindostan have in all ages considered the coining of money as an appendage of sovereignty, as well as a branch of revenue. The practice of giving arbitrary denominations to certain coins, beyond the proportion of their intrinsic value with respect to others, is an abuse of very old standing; and nothing can be more contrary to .every principle, by which the precious metals have been adopted, as a measure for ascertaining the worth, and as a medium of commerce, or an equivalent for all commodities. From the most early accounts we have of the mercantile transactions of mankind, we find silver and gold, and even baser metals, made use of as equivalents for the purchase of goods. The proportion of the value of the equivalent was reckoned by the purity of the metal and mass which it contained.
