For most of human history, salt met this definition. Ever wonder why it's called a salary?

Tungsten is also one of the rarest minerals on Earth despite being relatively cheap.

    It's very nice when your wallet is barely keeping afloat and you're left without money because salt gone form wallet... Or do you mean super cheap rock salt?

    Well, to be left without money because I got caught in the rain is not still a pleasure.

    Tungsten is also one of the rarest minerals on Earth, despite its relative cheapness.

    Good... At a time when gold was still a currency, tungsten was not yet able to be smelted. In addition, when heated, tungsten is reactively oxidized, unlike gold.
