Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The coins are an exceptional store of value. They would serve well as a medium of exchange, eagerly accepted by most people. They are a poor unit of account, since their value fluctuates a great deal relative to other goods. The face value of the coins is not a reliable indicator of their worth relative to other goods. This is because they are valued primarily as a store of value (and historical/artistic artifacts), rather than as a medium of exchange.
