Absolutely brilliant summary of the thousands of years in which money has developed to what we know today.

Excelent way to teach the children what was the money story.

You took me to 9000 bc and gave me an example of swapping "apple" with "DVD" hahah.... Nice

This misses a key step. People in China had to AGREE THAT THE SHELLS WERE VALUABLE! Without this piece, a person could trade their cow for shells, and then try to use the shells to buy wheat. But what if the wheat dealer does care for shells. In other words, what if the wheat dealer doesn’t find the shells VALUABLE. Without first collectively establishing that shells have value (which is more or less arbitrary) they cannot be used as currency.

Just my opinion
Knowledge is money
Wisdom count it
Understanding shares it
Unity is POWER!

[MrEmilicious]
