History of Money in The United States
What is money? By definition, it's something of value. But over the last 10,000 years, the material form that money has taken has changed considerably—from cattle and cowrie shells to today's electronic currency.
In the United States we have a similar evolution, but the goal to get a unified system of exchange was important.
The bank may not be willing to take milk and eggs for their whole staff as a mortgage payment!
In this podcast, we explain the evolution of currency here in the United States.
We divide this podcast into two sections.
1 - Pre U.S. or colonial times
2 - U.S. and forward
Take a listen and let us "Show you the money"!
