This is a video in my Speculative Fiction Studies series, which examines and analyses key aspects of classic and contemporary works in the genres that fall under the broad rubric of speculative fiction. This includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, weird, cyberpunk, utopian, post-apocalyptic, and superhero fiction, among other genres

This video focuses on Jorge Luis Borges' short philosophical story, "The Zahir", and it narrates how the Borges of the story ends up getting the Zahir as a bit of change when drinking brandy after the wake of the socialite Teodelina. As a coin, it provokes some reflections upon money, interchangeability, and coins on Borges' part.
