Anonymous1) Is "currency" an abstract or concrete noun?
It can be either.
Anonymous2) what about lull
I think that must be abstract only, even though I can sense a lull in the conversation.

If I have some currency in my pocket, I think it's concrete, Gus.

Ah, right. I always thought currency was simply a system of money. I should have checked a dictionary. Emotion: sad

I have to say that I, a native speaker for over sixty years and a teacher for over forty, sometimes don't find it easy to decide whether certain words are being used as abstract or concrete nouns. It's not a distinction I find particularly useful.
