I just can open wikipedia and find all these definitions. But reading some history lessons in comments for my blog I find much more interesting.

In Brazil they've changed so many times. Reis, Cruzeiros, Cruzados and now Real. I might have forgotten one or two for sure. Real means, er... Real though it pronounces "he-a-u". Before the currency they used other things including Salt, that's where the word Salary comes from "sal" means salt. Cheers OK then another blog on history, very interesting!!!

But many countries in Europe were willing to give up their cherished national symbols (franc, mark, peseta, lira, drachma etc). The decision to name the new currency the Euro was a terrible one. The Ecu had a long and noble history (ecu d'or); but the Germans voted for the Euro. As usual, Britain does things differently. We've kept the pound, which we call sterling; in some circumstances (well, horse racing mostly) people still talk about guineas. A guinea is a pound and a shilling. What's a shilling? Well, you started on the history lesson. Really interesting… But many countries in Europe were willing to give up their cherished national symbols (franc, mark, peseta, lira, drachma etc).

History of money is, I think, essential for us, if we take into consideration 60-year cycle theory. =) Well, it is interesting, but I prefer its history.
