Scenarios about 'currency'
Currency refers to the system of money used as a medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value within an economy. Throughout history, currencies have evolved from commodity-based systems like gold and silver coins to fiat money backed by government decree, shaping trade patterns and economic development across civilizations. In alternate history scenarios, divergent currency systems often reflect different power structures, technological developments, or economic philosophies that might have emerged under changed historical circumstances.
