I've always wondered why we call money 'currency'. What's the origin of this term and how did it come to represent the concept of money that we use in our daily transactions?

It stems from the Latin term "currere," which translates to "to run" or "to flow."

This suggests a dynamic and ever-changing nature of currency, much like how it circulates within an economy.

On the other hand, the word "money" has a different linguistic background.

It is derived from the Latin word "monere," which means "to warn." This could imply a cautionary aspect linked to financial transactions.
