Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change from one form to another. For example, kinetic energy can turn into heat energy through friction.

Money is simply a token of effort. Money doesn't actually exist - it is simply an agreed method of indicating a transfer of effort. ( if I dig up a potato and give it to you, it saves you the effort. I don't need the carrot but I want something of agreed identical value to replace both the lost carrot and the effort expended in digging it up for you )

The earth is all we have. ( I know we have the universe, but for this illustration lets say the earth ) There is only a finite amount of 'stuff' to take from the earth, and this stuff goes in to creating mountains, water, people, potatoes etc etc. If money is simply a way of symbolising the effort taken to 'harvest' these resources, then it follows that money cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be used to symbolise something physical that we have harvested from the earth.

Why energy is considered to be nature's money?

Think of energy as Mother Nature's money. Whenever something happens energy must be exchanged. Sometimes things gain energy, sometimes things loose energy, but it is neverdestroyed.Energy can be storedby objects (sort of like putting money in the bank). Eventually, however, this energy will be spent and passed on to some other object or objects.

Is it a bad omen to hoard money?

It's not really a bad omen to hoard money, but it is an unwise thing to do. If you think of money as a form of energy, then hoarding it is like preventing your energy from flowing. It is better to keep your life energy symbolically in circulation through the transactions and interactions that are involved in using money in a normal way (earning and spending it). Money really has no value in itself; it is only worth what you can exchange it for. So it is foolish to keep money for its own sake. Thus, hoarding money may not bring you "bad luck," but it's unlikely to make you happy and truly prosperous.
