In 625 B.C., metal coins were introduced in Greece.
They replaced grain — usually barley — as the medium of exchange.
Stamped with a likeness of an ear of wheat, the new coins were lighter and
easier to transport than grain, and did not get moldy.

I guess it would be easier to transport. LOL!

Once again, my day has not gone as planned. I'm ready to rip the phone out....it won't stop ringing.
And nothing earth shattering. (I wrote this 90 minutes ago.)

We had this discussion at lunch yesterday, Piper and I. We talked about American farmers turning their corn into Bourbon to make transportation easier and to make more money.
