Stories about money - intro

According to an intriguing midrash, four people became famous and minted coins in order to convey their message specifically through monetary transactions - Avraham, Yehoshua, David and Mordecai. Each of them engraved specific images onto their currency, in hopes that people who used this currency would take these images - and the story they told - to heart as they transacted. This is a powerful metaphor for how we do or don't remember our stories of purpose and value as we transact.
