Money is a tool. It is a medium of exchange. It is fungible. It can be put to work to make more money through equity, leverage or what used to be standard banking practices.

Gold is not fungible -- that part is true. Otherwise, your comment is wrong. Gold is ideal as money precisely because it's not fungible.
