Is this a puzzle or not a puzzle?

This is not an article on all aspects related to Money. It is also not about money that talks or on funny money!! We all know that money is a current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes collectively. It is measured differently in different countries of the world... Here is some example of how cold cash is measured in some of the countries around the world.

In China, the currency the people use is called Yuan. In Australia, it is dollar. In Denmark, the Danish people call it Krone. In my country, we call it Taka; The Ethiopians call their currency birr. In India, the currency is called Rupee.

Those who are reading this article know how cold cash is measured in their irrespective countries.

The above two paragraphs have been posted as an introduction to tell that money has different names too when we use it to settle payments for something not related to Goods but mainly services rendered to or payable under a compelling circumstance and or under Government regulations. Here are some examples:


In church it is called offering
In school, it is fees
In marriage it is called dowry
In divorce, it is called alimony
It is known as debt when you owe someone
When you are bound to pay Government, it is Tax
In law court, it is Fines
A retired Government Employee receives Pension
Workers are paid Salaries/Wages
When we borrow from bank, it is known as Loan
When you pay a waiter in a restaurant, it is Tips
Kidnappers are paid Ransom
Ill-gotten gain is known as Bribe


We can answer many such questions easily when asked casually.



What do we call it when a wife gives money to her husband?
