I've always wondered why certain things are named the way they are. For example, why is money sometimes referred to as 'mint'? What's the origin of this term, and how did it become associated with currency?

    One of the key features of Juno Moneta's temple was that it also served as a mint.

    The word is derived from the Latin 'moneta', which is also the source of the English word 'money'.
