What is Money?

Metal rings were used as money in ancient Egypt. This was the first step towards the use of metal coins. The first coins were used in Asia Minor about 2,700 years ago. The use of coins spread over the entire world. They were handy to carry, did not wear out easily, did not decay or die, and did not require food.

The coins were usually made by governments, and the value was stamped on each disk. Coins were made in different sizes. Their value was determined by their size and weight. Thus they could be used in making change.

Today, each country usually makes its own money. Sometimes a country has several kinds of coins. Our country, for example, mints several different coins as a part of its money system. The value of most coins is no longer determined by their weight. Many coins, including those of the United States, have only token value. This means that the value of the metal in them is less than their face value. People are willing to accept token coins because they trust their governments.

Coins are handy in making change and in buying things that do not cost much. But handling large amounts of money in coins is not easy. Large sacks of coins are heavy and bulky. Still, for many centuries men did not have the handy substitutes such as money-paper money and checks we use today.

Paper money first came into use in China about six centuries ago. Gradually its use spread into all countries that carry on trade and commerce.

Paper money began as written notes from merchants, moneylenders, or goldsmiths to pay cash upon demand. So long as the ones who issued the notes were honest and were able to pay cash upon demand, people preferred to carry the notes instead of coins.

As more and more people gained confidence in paper money, its use increased in all types of trade. Paper money is now issued by governments. The United States has printed its own money since 1861.
