Physically there seems to be NO difference at all between any kind of goods and money. Both can have a physical (matter based) body or can be an electronical set of data. In principle all kind of goods can be used as money. This is valid for each form of money in history. Even living animals like goats and cows could be put into both definitions. I really see a problem to define the difference in physical terms. It is nothing but a simple convention - which can vary from one moment to another?
