I don't know how to articulate this question, but I guess I want to know how much money exists in the world's economy? Well, it’s tough because you also need to take into account the number of debt, which will be significantly higher than the amount of money.

I’ll catch a fish, that’s 3 coconuts. You climb a tree and gather some coconuts (7 of them today!) so you can spend more money. Becky offers to tend your fire tomorrow all day while you’re out exploring. She’ll do that for you, for one coconut. You need a whole new room built into your little shack now. I will do that for you, but it’s going to cost 300 coconut
