Reference for Arakhin 42:39
שדה פלוני בסימניה ובמצריה כך היא יפה וכך היא שומא כל הרוצה ליקח יבא ויקח על מנת ליתן לאשה בכתובתה ולבעל חוב בחובו
Because there are some who would prefer dealing with a creditor who is lenient with regard to the coins,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The merchant (creditor) will take even imperfect coins, which in the absence of base metal, would after some time become thin. Such would be looked upon with misgiving by the widow, but not by the merchant, who would know whether the depreciation is too serious for him to accept them. On the other hand, he will insist on full payment, whilst the widow, who uses the money for her own needs, rather than for investment in business enterprise, will be willing to accept payment by instalments, thus allowing the purchaser to use the capital for himself in the interval.');"><sup>11</sup></span>
