How did money develop?What are its six Characteristics?

Question

Would baked bread be a good basis for money?

Answer 1

All sorts of things have been used as money at different times in different places. The alphabetical list below, taken from page 27 of A History of Money by Glyn Davies, includes but a minute proportion of the enormous variety of primitive moneys, and none of the modern forms.

Amber, beads, cowries, drums, eggs, feathers, gongs, hoes, ivory, jade, kettles, leather, mats, nails, oxen, pigs, quartz, rice, salt, thimbles, umiacs, vodka, wampum, yarns, and zappozats (decorated axes).

It is almost impossible to define money in terms of its physical form or properties since these are so diverse. Therefore any definition must be based on its functions.

Answer 2

Lil Seria, I don't know is you are American or not but if you are, you should know that Americans, more than any other nationality in the world, believe that money was first invented and used by God; and that's why they have printed on their money "In God we trust!"

Yet, within the last decade or so, many Americans are trying to get God out of schools, courthouses and any other public places but not off their money. However, the rumor has it that some American (Not to name them) organizations are trying to replace the "In God we trust" with the "In the Buck we trust!

I only hope that those who believe in God, in one form or another, will prevail.

Hope this answers your question.
