For centuries people have utilized a system of values when determining how to acquire whatever they need or want from society. Money is a tool for communication, and has operated in different forms throughout history, from Barter Trade Networks to Cryptocurrency. As a Medium of Exchange, Money took the form of pressed disks of metal stamped by local Governments, to printed paper money issued by Banks or individuals. Sometimes this included precious metals like gold or silver, other times it existed as sea shells, trading cards, or gaming tokens. About the Author: Horus Michael Copyright (c) (R) 2021 Mike J.
