Derrida connects the printing of documents or inscription with circumcision, “it leaves a trace of an incision right on the skin: more than one skin, at more than one age.” (Enzer 2008)
Currency can tell us a lot about a culture at a particular point in time by what is imprinted on it. The date and picture (who or what was seen as important) as well as the material the currency is made from is also extremely valuable. The older a coin, the more it increases in value according to traditional archiving systems in museums for example. This is the external space which these archives live and according to Derrida “assure the possibility ot memorization, of repetition, of reproduction, or of reimpression (Ezner 2008).
