Mon"ey (?), n.; pl.

F. monnaie, fr. L. moneta. See Mint place where

1. A piece of metal, as gold, silver, copper,
etc., coined, or stamped, and issued by the sovereign authority as a
medium of exchange in financial transactions between citizens and

To prevent such abuses, . . . it has been found
necessary . . . to affix a public stamp upon certain quantities of
such particular metals, as were in those countries commonly made use
of to purchase goods. Hence the origin of coined money, and of
those public offices called mints.
A. Smith.
