For what it's worth, I agree.  My scenario with commodity money was meant 
to be the starting point for a purely theoretical point, but it got 
sidetracked with all this discussion of historical conditions in the gold 
industry that Marx makes no mention of in K.III. Ch. 9 (which doesn't mean, 
of course, that he didn't intend to invoke them).  I'll address the 
scenario with fiat money presently.  Gil
