''A coin shop? This is irresistible, because, as implausible as this may sound, all political truth can be found in a coin shop. And not just political truth: you find in here the story of the whole of modern life on exhibit, and learn more from looking than you find in a multivolume history.
There they are on display: coins from all lands. Why
are they worth more than the coins in your pocket? Because they are old?
That's part of it but not the essence of it. There are some new coins
here that are also just as valuable as the old ones.
What is critical is that they are made of gold
and silver. You can pick them up and tell the difference. They are
heavy. Stack them and let them fall on each other, and they make a
different sound from the coins that usually rattle around in your
pocket.''
