Ed, I read the related part in "Critique of Political Economy" in the MIA version again and again, and I think Suzanne de Brunhoff simply delivers there what she accurately inferred from Marx text, but there is nothing directly indicating her interference. So, probably, you wouldn't get anywhere even if you had that particular edition. Marx most likely didn't see any benefit from repeating the difference between the metallic forms of money and banknote money, which is, in Marx's words, more advanced version of money: "In countries which have purely metallic currency or are at an early stage of development of production, hoards are extremely fragmented and scattered throughout the country, whereas in advanced bourgeois countries they are concentrated in the reservoirs of banks." In fact, hoarding is not only possible but more effective when it's conducted via banknote rather than metallic, gold-money. But all in all, Marx's text and his ideas in that part are incredibly complicated and awe inspiring. I mean, it's sometimes so easy to detect when someone attempts to add more depth to their writing with various schemes that I put away that kind of nonsense within minutes. But, here, the complexity of the question and the endeavor of the author to deal with it is undeniable.
