Money
Money can be anything that is taken in payment for goods or services. Every society has a money economy based on coins and paper notes. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter is a system of direct exchange of one good or service for another. People needed a more practical system of exchange. Cattle, grain, teeth, tobacco, salt were used. Precious metals became popular, because they were portable, durable, recognizable and divisible.
A coin is a piece of metal, usually disk-shaped, which bears numbers showing its value. Coins were made of gold, copper, aluminum, nickel, lead, plastic. Nowadays valuable metal is replaced by paper notes.
Now most governments issue paper money in the forms of notes. Paper money is easy to handle and convenient in the modern world. Cheques, credit cards are also used increasingly. The value of money is its value as a medium of exchange or its purchasing power. The purchasing power depends on supply and demand. Money is the medium through which people exchange goods and services.
Money should possess the following qualities:
1) Portability - Money should be small and light for people to carry
2) Durability - A very high quality paper must be used for money
3) Divisibility - It is ability to be divided into parts
4) Recognizability - Money should be easily recognized and hard to copy
