Review citations on this page

Citations here are citing very poor sources and the material on this page lacks because of it. Citation 14 is of particular issue. Blatant misinformation on the Wikipedia page for money. I can’t put it past the propaganda machines though, they obviously do a very good job. Language needs to be reworked too. “Many civilizations “”EVENTUALLY”” developed a form of commodity currency” as if currency is a necessity in every civilization, even had a guaranteed chance of forming? This is purposefully poor work to trick people into believing money is essential to human society. 2600:6C48:6F7F:B7E6:69D9:C544:11CA:29F6 (talk) 19:05, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Picture?

While I like the picture, I figured one that shows more recent coins and banknotes (instead of ones dating to the mid-1930s) would be more appropriate. MightyArms (talk) 02:15, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Regarding store of value

"Some have argued that inflation, by reducing the value of money, diminishes the ability of the money to function as a store of value."

How can one argue about this one? Inflation reduces the value of money, that's a fact and nothing to argue about in my opinion. Elyos92 (talk) 09:11, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I checked the cited source, and it says nothing about money as a store of value. It talks about GDP and CPI. Maybe this should be removed. GA-RT-22 (talk) 12:36, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I mean, it appears to me, it is common sense that inflation reduces the value of money. Maybe one should say consumer price inflation reduces the value. Although asset price inflation reduces the value of money as well, if you plan on buying something, not if you own something, obviously. But then again, you usually talk about consumer price inflation, if you say inflation. Plus, most people don't own a lot of assets and inflation (whether CPI or API) isn't good for them.
