There are some languages, like Spanish and Portuguese, in which the word for coin and currency is the same.
Could this be a clue for Satoshi's native idiom?

{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

I think this is quite common.

For instance, 'Cash' was originally a type of Chinese coin. It was round with a square hole in the middle (so you could thread a string through the middle to carry them easily).
