The development of monetary systems went through the same stages as sign systems: from the natural sign (money as a part of commodity world) to the sign as a symbol (money codifies commodity relations without being a part of commodity world). In the first case monetary systems follow the logic of real commodity relations; in the second one they follow the logic codifying this reality of the system. Monetary systems essentially are sign systems. They are cognitive and reality transformation appliances due to their “autonomy” gained during the evolutionary process.
