This semantic side of money is captured in Marx's word
"Darstellen" (represent).  Money represents value for the
practical interactions on the market (fuer den aeusserlichen
Verkehr).  Why is such a representation needed?  Because the
market interactions are those direct interactiions through
which the producers relate their labors to each other as
abstract labor.

Hans.
