HISTORY OF MONEY

MONEY we know it today has undergone a long process of development. At first, the community had yet to change because everyone is trying to meet thee needed with their own efforts. Human hunting if it is hungry, make their own clothes from simple materials, finding fruit for personal consumption; short, what's the benefit obtained to meet their needs. Further developments on the fact that human will be face brewed what turned out to be enough for the whole they needs. To obtain goods not produced themselves, they look for people who want to exchange goods owned by other goods needed by him. As a result emerges barter means goods exchanged goods. But in the end, many of the perceived difficulties with this system. Among them is the difficulty to find people who have the desired item and want to exchange goods possessed and difficulties to obtain goods that can be interchanged with each other to exchange value with a balanced or nearly equal value. To overcome this, the thoughts began to arise to use certain objects to be used as a medium of exchange. Fixed objects as medium of exchange is the things received by the public (Generally accepted) selected objects of high value (difficult to obtain or possess the magical and mystical), or things that are primary needs of day-to-day eg salt used by the Romans as a medium of exchange as well as a payment of wages. Roman influence is still seen until now: the British mention Salary wages as derived from the Latin meaning salarium salt.
