Hi Alex. Here's how the Muslim world sees paper money. Thank goodness we in the west are not that backwards...... :-))

An Instrument of tyranny

We have heard economists saying:

"We need a flexible currency"

"We need a currency that can be expanded or contracted according to the needs of the economy"

"An increase in currency will quicken industry"

These are all fallacies to justify the insolvency of the issuers of the notes in order to avoid their obligations to pay. There is, in truth, a great charm in the idea of being able to pay off all our needs, satisfy all the government expenses and to make the whole community prosperous, just by printing a few characters on bits of paper. But when a man is capable of believing that, he will believe anything.
