Adjective clause reduction?
Hi there
Is there an adjective clause reduction in the sentence below?
In ancient times, cacao seeds or beans were used as a form of currency, valid both for the purchase of everyday items and for the payment of tribute money to the king.
Can we rewrite this sentence as below?
In ancient times, cacao seeds or beans were used as a form of currency, which was valid both for the purchase of everyday items and for the payment of tribute money to the king.
Thanks
