I flew back from Samoa on the 15th of September.Since then both the property market and the share market
have lost their value. Money is still worth alot but it is also
worth nothing. People with money are buying something
they think will hold value and people without money are
selling to pay for money they didn't have in the first place.
These seed necklaces are endemic to Samoa, they aren't used
as currency but they have value. The value isn't a monetary
one, its cultural. I like the fact that you can wear a currency
and also that it comes directly from plants.
Is there any point in wearing more than one necklace at a
time?
If you plant the tree and look after it you can have an endless
supply of currency and everyone can wear it. Does cultural
currency value diminish if there is a regular supply ?
