Happie Money
The Milanese Peter Martyr wrote in "De Orbe Noro" (1612)
"But it is very needfull to heare what happie money they use, for they have money,
which I call happy, because for the greedie desire and gaping to attaine the same,
the bowelles of the earth are not rent a sunder, nor through the ravening greediness
of covetous men, nor terrour of warres assayling, it returneth to the dennes and
caves of the mother earth, as golden, or silver money doth. For this groweth upon trees."
