Yes, but what about the rock? :-)

If they exist, they posses both energy and momentum.

So if I "possess" an American Express card, do I "possess" money? No.
I simply "possess" the potential to purchase something with it at a

"money - 4. any article ... used as a means of payment."

So the answer is yes, credit cards are a form of money. Sorry.

A distinction is commonly drawn between plastic and cash, Cecil. I

Do you happen to have a special dictionary where words don't
