DESCRIPTION:<p>Benjamin observed that certain forms of money\, such as ancient Greek coins\, are a form of &lsquo\;mechanically reproduced&rsquo\; art that lacks an &lsquo\;aura&rsquo\;. This paper shows that the artistic dimension of Greek coins derives from their &lsquo\;moneyness&rsquo\; rather than from their beauty. By the same token\, all forms of money possess an artistic dimension that is interwoven with money&rsquo\;s economic function. Money is a peculiar and even ancient form of art because it is the independent form of value which represents and symbolises a vast array of relations. The form and the material of money itself are of paramount importance in this respect: metallic coin\, for instance\, has a different artistic aspect to paper money. The emergence of dematerialised money expands the scope for money&rsquo\;s symbolic and representational functioning in art of relations ruled by capital.</p>
