Just an idea I had, probably won’t make it into a full blown story, tell me what you think:
“It has been a month since she came to this world, and it’s ruling nation. It was everything she had ever dreamed a perfect world would be. The people were diverse and peaceful. There was plenty, and all was shared freely. Technology advanced to the point all of lowest and nastiest of jobs were preformed by thoughtless machines. So it sorrowed her to know there was a single nation left on earth that stood against the peace and process of the rest of the world. So she was gun-ho go there as a spy, as being not of the world they would not be able to identify her as a citizen of the world nation, and think she is one of them. Helping to bring down the last threat to peace and progress was the greatest honor to her.
She waited for the metal smith to counterfeit coins to use in the rouge nation. The fact they stilled used money in this time just showed how ignorant, greedy, and barbaric those people are. Finally, the smith came with two-thousand-one-hundred coins. The smith handed her the coins in bags and explained their value. The coins of lowest value were of copper, which she was given a thousand of. Next were five-hundred of coins of bronze. After that five-hundred coins of pure nickel. Next were one-hundred of coins of highest value. She pulled them out of the bag expecting gold, but instead the coins were made of a hard bright grey metal, with a fist and skull on one face, a open hand dropping seeds over plowed ground on the other.
“What is this?” She asked. “It’s not gold.”
The smith smiled, and replied;
“They don’t believe in gold over there, the liar’s metal they call it. Those coins are made of the metal they love more than any other, Steel. The one thing they feel they can trust. You must work hard to make steel, work hard to maintain it, if you neglect it, it rusts and goes away. It returns whatever you give it. It symbolizes one of core pillars of their beliefs. We know they are the nation ignorant adult children. But to them, they are the People of Steel.”
