Divisibility means that the money can easily be divided into smaller units of value. - Today, different coins and notes convey these fractional values. Uniformity means that all versions of the same denomination of currency must have the purchasing power. As an example, a 1928 $2 bill will still buy $2 worth of goods or services today.

The responsibility for maintaining an adequate money supply falls on the Federal Reserve System. Acceptability means that everyone must be able to use the money for transactions.

Functions of Money Medium of Exchange This function means that money is accepted throughout the economy as payment for goods and services. Buyers acquire goods by giving up money. Sellers receive money when parting with their goods. This is, without question, the most important function of money. This is the function that makes money MONEY.




Functions of Money Store of Value This function means that money can be used to purchase the same quantity of goods and services, that provide the same consumption value, in the future as it can purchase today. Inflation is the primary nemesis for the ability of money to store value. However, the functional value of the stored money may change over time due to other factors.




















Before people used money, they bartered, or traded things they had for the things they wanted. For example, a person may have traded five goats for one cow. Bartering was not always simple, though. Each person had to agree that the items being traded had an equal value. Also, each person had to have something that the other person wanted. People invented money to avoid bartering.


One of the earliest forms of money was metal, such as gold or silver. In North America, Native Americans used beads made of shell, called wampum, as a form of money. China, in 1,000 B.C., produced cowry shells at the end of the Stone Age. In addition, tools made of metal, like knives and spades, were also used in China as money. From these models, we developed today"s round coins that we use daily.


In the 600s BC the kingdom of Lydia in what is now Turkey began to make coins. It was probably the first government to do so. These coins were made of electrum, a precious alloy of gold and silver that consists of about 54 percent gold, 44 percent silver, and 2 percent copper.


The Chinese coins were usually made out of base metals which had holes in them so that you could put the coins together to make a chain. The Greeks and Romans minted coins hundreds of years before the time of Christ. The very earliest coins were struck about 600 BC. A lot of the Greek coins were silver.


The first types of paper money were used in China more than 1,000 years ago. Early paper money was simply a written promise to pay a certain amount of gold or silver money. The paper money was valuable because it could be traded for gold or silver. Later, governments began printing paper money.






The first world money, the Spanish silver dollar or pieces of eight minted in Spain, Mexico and Peru. The Spanish peso contained grams pure silver and was also used as domestic money in Asia, Latin America, America and Europe.




In July 1944 the agreement of more than 40 countries led to the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which countries joined by paying a subscription. Members agreed to maintain a system of fixed but adjustable exchange rates. Countries with payment deficits could borrow from the fund, while those with surpluses would lend.


The dollar became the most widely used currency in international trade, even in trade between countries other than the United States. It was the unit in which countries expressed their exchange rate. 1$ George Washington 2$ Thomas Jefferson 5$ Abraham Lincoln 10$ Alexander Hamilton 20$ Andrew Jackson 50$ Ulysses S. Grant 100$ Benjamin Franklin 500$ William McKinley 1000$ Grover Cleveland 5000$ James Madison 10000$ Salmon P. Chase


The largest bill ever circulated in the United States is the $10,000 bill, which features the face of Salmon P. Chase, who was Abe Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury. If you have one, you can spend it, but most of them are in museums these days.


On August 15, 1971 the system of fixed exchange rates broke down. President Richard Nixon severed the dollar from any connection to gold. Since then the international monetary system has consisted of a collection of currencies linked by floating exchange rates.


12 European countries - Luxembourg, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece adopted the euro.

History of English money The name of the modern English currency appeared in the 12th century and originally meant literally “a pound of pure silver.” This is related to the "sterling" - an ancient English silver coin. 240 coins weighed 1 Tower pound (5400 grains, about 350 grams). Large purchases were expressed in “pounds sterling.” On the other hand, it was a way to check the weight of the coins - if the weight of 240 coins is not equal to 1 pound, the coins could be counterfeit or too worn.
