The History of Money

 

These days, money is high-tech. We have notes and coins which are specially made. We

use credit cards. Banks can move millions at the touch of a button. But how did twenty-first-

century money develop?

Each country has its own individual culture. That's as true today as it was thousands of years

ago. Each nation has developed its own language, its own religion, arts, form of government;

and, of course, its own money.

But why is money universal? The answer is very simple. Without it trade would be impossible

and people in any society need to exchange goods in order to survive.

So money is necessary, but what kind of money? Well, in the past most societies used objects.

Some of these were very rare and beautiful ( as shells in Thailand or beads in Africa), others could be eaten or used ( salt was used in Nigeria and tobacco in America). In Rome, the soldiers were

even paid in salt!

Early forms of money like these were used to buy goods. They were also used to pay for

marriages, fines and debts. But although everyday objects were extremely practical kinds of cash, they had disadvantages, too. For example, it was difficult to divide them or save up for a rainy day.

For reasons such as these, some societies began to use another kind of money. This consisted of

metals which were cut into small pieces. People in Mesopotamia ( now part of Iraq) began doing this about 4,500 years ago. Later gold and silver money appeared in Ancient Egypt, China and

elsewhere, too.

The first coins were made in Turkey around 700 BC. The coins were so successful that it soon

spread to other countries.

Today's paper money is produced and controlled by governments through a system of banks.

That's why we talk about bank-notes. Paper money soon became popular in Europe.
