The history of money

More than 2,000 years ago the Romans were (1) similar to those we use today. Many of these early coins were made in the temple of the goddess Juno, or Moneta. It is from the name “Moneta” that we get the word “money”.

In most societies objects were used (2) . Perhaps a good hunter had more animal skin than he could use and his neighbour, a fisherman, too many fish. Both soon realised that the best thing to do was to exchange what they did not need. This method of paying (3) . However this system has some problems. Firstly, you need to find someone who (4) and wants what you have, and secondly, how do you decide on the ‘value’ of the items. For example, how many fish are equal to one loaf of bread?

To overcome these problems some societies tried

(6) , pay for marriages, fines and debts. But it was still difficult to measure their value accurately and keep some of them for a long time.

So, finally a number of societies began to use another kind of money. These were precious metals which were
(7) and weighed. Later on these ‘coins’ were stamped with a figure or symbol so that people could determine how many coins it took to pay for a particular object or service.

It was only around 400 years ago that paper money came into general use in most countries. However, historians believe that the Chinese were printing paper money over a thousand years ago. The first official European bank notes were issued by the Swedish Stockholm Bank in 1661. Of course today not only do we use banknotes but we use ‘plastic’ money in credit cards and cheques which are written out on (8) , a little like an IOU note.
