Talk:Bank of the Prophet

"fifty percent of all transactions go to him as a tithe"

A little excessive as nobody would keep their money there then (or use it for 'transactions'). And in those days there were few other services banks did besides giving loans. Few people used 'checks' (employees were usually paid directly). There were no credit/debit cards or investment departments.

No wonder we find money just about anywhere you look (even in garbage cans)  - nobody is keeping it in (or rather losing it to) this Bank.

Seriously just (the traditional) 10% forced  tithe would have been absurd enough.
