Society where physical coins

In general, currency is a system of money backed by a government

Typically made up of coins and paper notes, currency is a medium of exchange, meaning that it is the basis for various kinds of trade and transactions

Concluding remarks The transition to a society without physical money is advancing at an unprecedented pace, driven by the convenience of electronic money for the end user and by the remarkable cost reduction (cash managing and transport) for banks allied with an increased security to their employees and customers

Tokens used daily to acquire goods and services are a perfect medium to convey political messages, too: Roman emperors sold the idea of empire through coinage

Soviet ruble notes of the 1920s exhorted workers of the world to unite in multiple languages, while coins depicted the bright Bolshevik future: a factory bathed in sunlight
