- Backed by state authorities, Croesus minted gold coins, however, for gold to hold greater value than native eletrum, he needed gold purity to be ascertainable by assay.
- With this, gold became subject to comparative valuation and later in object of worship.
- Hundreds of years later, a man was scathing about the corrup effect of gold.
- He damned all those who traded with minted gold, because he thought this metal is the worst calamity of mankind.
- The problem is not with the metal itself, but in the transformation the men suffer upon it.
