Time for Wiki Wednesday.
You know - you go to Wikipedia, you click on "random article," you report on the outcome.
Here's my random Wiki Wednesday find for this week:
Representative money
Representative money refers to money that consists of token coins a token or certificate that can be exchanged for a fixed quantity of a commodity such as gold, silver or potentially water, oil or food. This is to be distinguished from commodity money which is actually made of that real physical commodity.
Unless you're actually using a member of Congress to pay for something, in which case your representative money would in fact be an example of commodity money. Got that?
