==The Value of Souls as currency==
{{Quotation
|title=
'''Dean:''' In this economy? It's probably the only thing worth buying. Do you have any idea what souls are worth? What power they hold?

[[Balthazar]] bought the soul of a boy, [[Aaron Birch]], in exchange for a part of the [[Staff of Moses]]. It is unclear why he wanted the soul, although he refers to souls as the only thing left of value, and he is eventually forced to return it.<ref name="six03" />
[[Death]] hinted this too in when he talked to Dean about the fact that even he could not destroy a soul. Death also said that a soul was "vulnerable,impermanent, but stronger than you know. And more valuable than you can imagine." <ref>[[6.11 Appointment in Samarra]]</ref>. Crowley's inetrest interest in PurgaotryPurgatory, the residng residing place of the sould souls of supernatural beings, may also have been related to this value.
[[Atropos]] accuses [[Castiel]] of sinking the Titanic to create 50,000 more souls in order to "fund his war machine". She said that "he (Castiel) couldn't mint money, that it was wrong and dangerous and she wouldn't let him". (It is not uncommon in times of war, for countries to print additional currency.) <ref> [[6.17 My Heart Will Go On]]</ref>
