According to The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, Spain imported 3.8 million British pounds worth of gold a year during the middle of the 18th century. Gold from ancient spiritual artifacts plundered from Inca temples entered the marketplace after being melted into gold coins. These may look like simple coins, but through vast spans of time they have passed through many hands.
根據經濟學之父亞當史密斯的《國富論》，18 世紀中葉，西班牙每年從海外運回相當於三百八十多萬英鎊價值的金銀，這些帶有印加帝國古老靈魂的金器，被鑄成西班牙金幣後，就從神殿淪入市場，一枚枚看似單純的金幣，其實身不由己地在巨大時空中輾轉流徙，疊印了許許多多人的前世今生。
