Where did the phrase cold hard cash come from?

In the early years of merchanting, "cash" referred to gold and silver coins; the word was later applied to bank notes and checks. Coins made from gold and silver were warm, soft and easily worn away; paper notes had no intrinsic value. Therefore, a seller could demand that he wanted "cold, hard cash" in return for goods or services -- that is, money made from cold, hard metals that did not deteriorate easily and, unlike bank notes, had inherent value.
