Money Today
Description
Plastic, paper and pseudo coins
The great bulk of today’s money exists in the shape of virtual bank money, here represented by «plastic money» in the form of credit cards. Coins and bank notes have become mere credit money with a material value that lies far below its face value. Next to that we have pseudo coins, which are struck exclusively for collectors and encased in plastic for protection against soiling.
