Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had
more of it but we all recognize it when we see it, whether in the form of coins, notes or
cheques. It is difficult to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest
periods of human history, people used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange
things they had plenty of for things that they were in need of. For example, they might
offer food for tools. This method of exchange, which is known as "barter", has many
disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they may not last long, or may be
impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know the worth of
something compared with other goods.
According to historians. the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of
gold coins produced about 2.500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a
suitable material. The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they
were still being used at the beginning of this century, although they have now been
replaced by paper money and coins made of ordinary metals.
