  2. Paper and metal currency are merely the tangible mediums of barter. Eye appeal enhances the medium’s esthetic value, but adds nothing to its intrinsic worth. Scrooge Mcduck didn't care what his money vault contents looked like or could buy him. It was simply the quanity which enabled him to swim through his millions that gave him his substantive pleasure.
