Transcript
Money is a medium that we use to meet our needs, buy goods or services, or pay the salaries of employees. Considering the number of transactions today, it would be impossible to carry out these exchanges without a medium as effective and practical as money. Money also serves to measure the value of goods and services. So we can use it as a unit of measurement as well. Besides as money does not lose value in time it can be used to save wealth.
Well, how did money get into our lives? Before the invention of money people used to make their transactions by bartering; in other words exchanging the goods they possessed. However, making transactions in this way had some difficulties. To make an exchange there had to be someone who had the product or service demanded, and he or she had to be willing to exchange it for another product or service.
For example, someone who had more apples than he needed and who wanted to cross the river had to find someone who had a rowboat and who was willing to offer this service in exchange for some apples.
To overcome such difficulties people started using metals, animals, seashells and the like, whose value is accepted by all as a medium of exchange. In time, precious metals such as gold and silver started to be used in trade. The Lydians were the first civilization to make coins from these precious metals. As trade developed more need for higher amounts of money increased.
Since it became difficult to make payments with coins for high-volume transactions, a new payment instrument emerged. In the 17th century due to the scarcity of resources, western countries began to use paper money that is banknotes, which were more cost effective. When designing and printing banknotes, central banks use various security features to prevent them from being easily faked. In addition, central banks are responsible for putting the printed banknotes into circulation and assuring that enough banknotes are available.
