Beware' Tiny Kim
Maybe it was the approach
of Christmas that got me
thinking about money. Maybe
it was Kim flasking me Nhat
"collateral" was. In tryfng to
explain, L. got into gold re-
serves arid depreciation of the
pound and inflation, and we
both wound up refreshingly
tiewildered.
Later, he brings another
very small piece of paper, with
a figure on' it which you're also
lucky it's too dark to see. In
turn, you show him a piece of
plastic, called a credit card;
and sign a paper. Or if you're
just a peasant,you hand over a
number of pieces of ,colored
paper.
Only thing ()ratty value ;that
came out of it was the ridicu-
lous nature of modern money.
Money, or some form of it, is.
as old as man, whether it be -
wampum, bits of elephant tusk
or fancy sea -shells. Geld early
became the favorite, because it
was heavy, malleable, decora-
tive and hard to get hold of.
Silver and copper made up the
unholy trinity, and we were in.
business. •
But from early times, and
even into the last century,
money was real. You could feel
it, bite it, smell it, heft it, look
at it shine, and listen to it
ring. It had weight, substance.
You could put it in a sock
and feel like a banker. You
could bury it in the ground.
when you heard the tax collec-
tor was coming. Try that with
modern currency.
wnat tun it must have been
to go into -a tavern with
friends, spin a gold guinea on
the table and shout: "Land-
lord! Three game pies, a
haunch of venison and three
gallons of your best brandy."
And get ten, jingling 'shillings
in change.
Mine host stirs the fire,
cooks bustle happily off-stage
and waiters- scurry, tugging at
their forelock and brimming
up the tankards.
Compare. Today you go into
a tavern with friends. Half an
hour later, when your eyes
have adjusted to the gloom, a
•waiter, either surly or insolent,
hands -you a large piece ..of
paper. This, eventually, prod-
uces a very small drink at a
very large price.
After a .suitably lengthy pe-
riod of anaesthetisation, in
preparation for the coming
shock, another waiter, this one
morose or bellicose, hands you
another large piece of paper.
Eventually, this produces a
platter • o_ something which
,you're lucky :t's too dark 'to
see: — * •

He tdkes it away and comes
back, promptly this time, with
a little' tray. All your paper is
gone and there is a quarter
and four pennies on the tray.
He stands, glowering, until you
put another piece of paper on
the tray. He grunts, snatches
it, and departs.
On, the way. out, you fork
over the quarter to ransom
your overcoat. You are left
With four pennies. They don't
exactly jingle.
Point is, po real moiley has
changed hands. There ktis no
personal contact, and thifiefore
no satisfaction in. it.
Every month, I receive a
piece of paper with figures on
it. The figure at the extreme
left is. fairly substantial. Then
there are a lot of other figures.
The figure at the extreme
right bears no relation to the
first one. It is one jump ahead
of the old -age pension. This is
known as a pay cheque.
I take it to a large building,
write some figures on another
'piece di paper, present both to
a nice lady, and she gives me
back some other papers, green,
blue and brown, with figures
on them. My wife gibes them
to another nice lady, in ex-
change for a big basket of gro-
ceries and maybe'three pieces
of real money, coins.
Once a month we sit down
and write things on some dif-
ferent paper, put the paper in
envelopes and send them to all
sorts of people who have pre-
viously sent us pieces of paper
with figures and the words
"Please!" or "Last warning!"
on them.
It's all very logical, of
course. And the crowning
piece oflogic is that the whole
thing is based on digging gold
out of a hole in the ground in
Northern Ontario and burying
it in another hole in the
ground at Fort Knox, Ken-
tucky
