The Usage Of Silver As Currency

By Antoine Johnson


In our days, world currencies are the money, nearly always. It hasn't been that, before. There were strange currencies, like the salt. It was, yeah. The gold's and the salt's value have been the same. There have been many trading kinds; one of them has been the exchanging trade. The life in those years has been simpler. Ours is more conflicted. But that is another point. Here you can look at the currencies then, especially one of them.

But you must have heard of another currency which was very popular at that time- the silver. It has been a currency for a very, very long time just like the gold. You have to know, that it's not so unthinkable to have the silver as a currency. The money, many years ago, was not the papers we used today but rare metals like gold and silver. The silver alloys with gold have been popular. In the early ears, the gold and the silver were used for currencies. That's because they were nearly impossible for forging. That was the reason why people decided to use the silver as a currency.

It is a pure metal and has got very good chemical properties. It hasn't got damaging for the human doses, so he isn't bad for us. He's harder than the gold. It's not very hard metal at all. His temperature of melt is a bit more than 900 degrees Celsius, not so much, again. He has the highest by the metals conductivities, electrical and thermal. The optical reflectivity of silver is in the top, it's very high.

Other property of the silver is that it's beautiful. He's used in the jewelries. Gold price is higher than the silver's. Much interesting jewelries have been made by the silver. Like the second place medal, it is made out of silver.

Another silver use is the medicine use. Basically, it has a toxic effect on some bacteria and viruses. This is very useful for the people property. Is there a person, who doesn't know about silver water? It's just like the alive and dead water- very good for brain, the skin and others, many others. Aristocrats have been using silver from long time, he is the aristocratic metal.

There are much interesting uses of silver. It can be said for electromagnets and the hi-end sound cables. People use his electrical conductivity for the cables. In the World War II the silver was used for making electromagnets, because of the ending of the cooper in the war.

It can absorb free neutrons, which are his property. That silver's property is used by the people. They are putting it into pressurized nuclear reactors.

While you are comparing with something like steel, the silver has got very high price. But compared with gold, it's cheap. That's why we can use silver as a currency. The reason, that stops us, is that we have invented the money.
