This week on hidden brain, we revisit a 20 20 episode about the intangible elements of cold, hard cash. Coins in currency are not just tokens of economic value, but markers of emotional connection and shared history. Support for hidden brain comes from dell technologies.

What’s the point of money? The answer might seem obvious: we need it to get paid for our work and to buy the things we need. But there’s also a deeper way to look at the role of money in our lives. This week in our Money 2.0 series, we revisit a favorite 2020 episode for an anthropologist’s take on the origin story of money. What if the cash and coins we carry are not just tools for transactions, but manifestations of human relationships?
