Money seems to have a big role in our society; you can’t do much or get far if you don’t have any.  Money is valuable in different ways, even when you don’t see it physically.  In today’s society you must have faith in the government, in the banking system, that your money is being handled with in the proper manner, if not then you would be hiding all of your money under your mattress, or around your house.  I never really have a clue what happens in the banks, and how they take care of your money.  I always just thought money was quite simple; you either have some or you don’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.  No one actually sees their money being transferred.  When you get paid, you don’t get a check or get paid even in cash, it’s all directly transferred to your bank account, and that you just have to trust that you got more money.

Money seems to have a big role in our society; not much can be done without it.  Money is valuable in different ways, even when it has no physical form.  In today’s society one must have faith in the government, and in the banking system, that money is being handled in the proper manner.  If not, then we would be hiding all of our money under our mattresses, or around our houses.  This writer has no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of money.  It is often thought that money is quite simple; it’s either there or it’s not.  However, one might find, through research, that the Yap Fei, US and France gold trade, and the Brazilian cruzeros all seemed somewhat similar.  Most don’t even see their money being transferred.  When many workers are paid, they don’t receive cash or a check; it’s often transferred to their bank accounts.
