Wow! Thats is truly fascinating! Im sure the monkeys didnt look at their fake money as swindling but merely a puzzling but effective way to obtain more food! Money is illogical really and i hope one day as technology advances it will become redundant and replaced by need and a limite and competitive desire to fullfil our needs and not our greed .. great post!!

It is pretty interesting, I was shocked the more I read about the study (and the other ones out there). I mean, in the end isn't that the same for us? We have some coins that we can exchange for goods and services, we understand the value behind the coins, as the monkeys understand that holding a disc means they can trade it for food.
