    Penny savings: taking the measure of money at the Ashmolean museum
    The Oxford museum's Heberden coin room holds antique cash objects from around the world. As we test our faith in digital cryptocurrencies, what can we learn from its collection?

    "Everything depends on confidence," says the keeper of the Heberden coin room at the Ashmolean museum in Oxford. "Coins are just one form of money. Anything that can be used as payment is money."

    Howgego cites Papua New Guinea as an example of what he means. Pearl shells were once used there as cash, which is why the word for shell – kina – is now the name of the national currency. He adds: "The Chinese once used rice as money – at least you could eat it!"

    Coronation medal of Edward VI (1546 in the old calendar and 1547 in the new calendar). Coin collection at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, 12 May 2022.

    Penny savings: taking the measure of money at the Ashmolean museum
    The Oxford museum's Heberden coin room holds antique cash objects from around the world. As we test our faith in digital cryptocurrencies, what can we learn from its collection?

    "Everything depends on confidence," says the keeper of the Heberden coin room at the Ashmolean museum in Oxford. "Coins are just one form of money. Anything that can be used as payment is money."

    Howgego cites Papua New Guinea as an example of what he means. Pearl shells were once used there as cash, which is why the word for shell – kina – is now the name of the national currency. He adds: "The Chinese once used rice as money – at least you could eat it!"

    Professor Jerome Mairat explains the benefits of the new digitisation system. Coin collection at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, 12 May 2022.

    Can bitcoin be sustainable? Inside the Norwegian mine that also dries wood.
    Kryptovault’s operation is part of a fightback against criticism of the famously energy-intensive industry.

    Bitcoin mining, the process of earning cryptocurrency by solving complex computational math puzzles and verifying transactions in the process, is famously energy-intensive. The latest calculation from Cambridge University’s bitcoin electricity consumption index suggests that as a result, the sector consumes more energy in a year than many countries, including Argentina, Pakistan and Poland.
