Money is fundamentally paper, if you can control the papers on your desk and in your house you can control your money. It's only when you act like money is something more than paper that it becomes uncontrollable.

Coins Are Money's Gadget

"Demeter, the divine right of kings, and magic doorways. Whether it's made from gold and silver or copper and zinc, money is only an abstraction, an idea, a necessary notion. Coins are money's gadget, a stage prop for the invisible hand of the market. Machinery makes metal into blanks, art makes blanks into coins, enchanted gates make coins into money, and as money ... the coins ... simply ... vanish." ~Donald Nichols
