## Source Chapter
Book IV, Chapter 1
## Context
While Smith uses the term "money" throughout, his distinction between coin, bullion, and paper currency implies the concept of specie as physical precious metal currency. He shows how mercantile policies focused specifically on preserving and accumulating this form of money.
