For a start, the gold coin is much too valuable, but also it has a totally different significance for them. So what used to be regarded as gold hoards buried in the ground for safekeeping in times of trouble, now most of them turn out to be not that at all. What they are is offerings placed in the ground for security, safety, protection.

Gold is being taken out of circulation all the time. Now, the thing about currency is that it has a function. Its function is to make trade possible. The Chinese worked out a long time ago, about the time that all this was happening, that currency was best regarded as not having value in itself. And it's better to use tokens that don't have significant value.

If you give them significant value, you run into trouble because you have to have enough of these tokens to make gold flow in a fluid way. If you produce too many, then you have inflation. If you produce too few, you have deflation. You've got to get the balance right.

You keep running out of gold. And this causes one continual crisis after another, right through into modern times.
