Circulation Quotes

On money, media and the reach of what circulates.

This page gathers quotes that use 'circulation' in different senses, from the number of people a publication or tape reaches to the money physically circulating in an economy. One quote recalls a currency demonetisation that removed most cash in circulation overnight, while another notes newspapers losing circulation to the internet. See also our Age quotes collection.


A historical quote traces how foreign coins once made up most of the currency circulating in the early United States, showing that circulation concerns are not new. For more on money and history, browse our American quotes page.
