Money seems to have a big role in our society; we can’t do much or get far if we don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even when we don’t see it physically. In today’s society we must have faith in the government, in the banking system, that the money is being handled with the proper manner, if not then we would be hiding all of the money under a mattress, or around the house. I never really have a clue what happens in the banks, and how they take care of all the money. I always just thought money was quite simple; one either has some or one doesn’t, that’s it. However, by being introduced to this assignment and having it compare the Yap Fei with the US and France gold trade in 1933, and the Brazilian cruzeros all seemed somewhat similar. One actually does not see the money being transferred. When we get paid, we don’t get a check or get paid even in cash, it’s all directly transferred to a bank account, and that we just have to trust that we got more money.
