# Menē  _The Name_
##### Menē ("meh-ney") is an ancient Aramaic word linking jewelry, gold, money, & savings. 
### A "Menē", reflecting 567 grams of pure gold, is the first written word for "money" as codified in the Code of Hammurabi approximately 4,000 years ago. 
##### For much of written history, humans exchanged value by pricing goods and services in units of "menē", which provided a predefined measurement of gold. 
##### Those units were often ultimately settled as pure 24 karat jewelry that could be readily exchanged.

### This ancient tradition, though often misunderstood by economists, is alive & well in the East where pure gold jewelry powers a savings economy in which jewelry is bought, sold, exchanged, and borrowed against as an asset that maintains its purchasing power.
