Odd Lots: How Do We Define a Currency?
What is a currency? This turns out to be one of those questions we just kind of skip over because we don't have clear answers to it (and because economists often like to skip over these foundational things). This special episode of the Odd Lots podcast was recorded as part of Princeton University's 'How to Write the Biography of a Currency' event, hosted by the Princeton Economic History Workshop and the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy & Finance. In this discussion, we talk about how we should define a currency and how that definition has changed (or not) over time. Our panelists were Iñaki Aldasoro, an economist at the Bank for International Settlements, Indiana University Bloomington Professor Rebecca Spang, and Stefan Ingves, the former head of the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, from 2006 to 2022.

Bride reveals bizarre reason she arrived at here wedding in a hearse — and it's not because she thinks marriage kills joy
'Til death do us part. A bride who arrived at her own wedding in a hearse has revealed the reason she was chauffeured to the church in the unorthodox vehicle. Daniela Signor, 33, sparked social media chatter with the morbid stunt when she wed her partner Apollo Scariot, 31, earlier this month near Sao Paulo, Brazil. 4 Signor is seen on her wedding day earlier this month. Jam Press/Apollo Scariot/Daniela Signor 4 Signor first laid eyes on her hunky hubby while he was working at a funeral back in 2023. Jam Press/Apollo Scariot/Daniela Signor The newlywed's reason for the hearse hijinks: her new hubby is an undertaker. 'Everyone at the wedding was shocked, but during our vows we explained everything — we read out our story,' Signor told Jam Press. 'Then people understood why I arrived in the hearse.' Signor explained that she first laid eyes on Scariot at a service for a deceased acquaintance back in April 2023. 4 The hearse had ''Til death do us part' splashed across the back window. Jam Press/Apollo Scariot/Daniela Signor Signor was so infatuated with Scariot that she subsequently started attending other burials organized by the funeral director in the hope of catching his eye. It took more than a year for Scariot to notice the frequent funeral attendee, but the two began dating last summer and are now wed. 'I used to think, 'I'll give the [grieving] family a hug just so I can see him,' you know? But he wasn't always there,' Signor stated. 'He had no idea — I only told him later, when we finally started talking. Then he was like, 'Wait, how did I never notice you before?' He was always so focused on work.' 4 Scariot says he's shocked by the huge amount of publicity his new bride's wedding hearse stunt has generated, saying funerals are simply a part of their love story. Jam Press/Apollo Scariot/Daniela Signor Scariot says he's shocked by the huge amount of publicity his new bride's wedding hearse stunt has generated, saying funerals are simply a part of their love story. 'We never expected it,' the undertaker uttered. 'We decided to arrive in the hearse from my company because it's part of our story — how we met. So, we were really surprised by the attention it got.'
