That's the more general definition and also just the most common example. This might be the source of our disagreement.
Gold was a currency, sea shells were a currency. Currency used to have nothing do with "legal tender" or "by decree" or "nation states".

no. Those were money, medium of exchange. Is something different.
The "what is money" podcast is explaining very well this.
