Description:

The term 'rifot' is the Old Common word for money or currency, and appears to be derived from 'rif', 'stature', and '-(h)ot', 'variety', although there is no evidence to confirm this is what Davidson intended. It has been largely superceded by 'fisakija' (short form 'fis'), the word for the NWO's currency, but is still used, especially in technical discussions or discussions about history, since it allows money in general to be distinguished from the fisakija currency specifically.
