History of Money
The oldest form of
money may well be cattle. Cattle could
be traded for other goods such as wheat
and clothing. Of course things have
changed – and it’s a good thing! Can you
imagine trying to fit several cattle
into a money clip?
Grain was another staple that has
relative intrinsic value for feeding
people and animals and was therefore
used like a currency. Later precious
metals were used. These did not have the
same intrinsic value except that it was
hard (and costly to source) and
therefore was not easily forged.
In 390 BC the Gauls attack Rome.
Fortunately (well depending on whose side
you take) the cackling of geese in the
capitol, where the city's reserves of
money are kept, alerted the defenders.
The Romans felt very grateful and build
a shrine to Moneta - the goddess of
warning. From Moneta the words money and
mint are derived.
