Money seems to have a big role in our society; we can’t do much or get far if we don’t have any. Even when money is not physically present, money is valuable in different ways. In today’s society, people must have faith in the government and in the banking system that their money is being handled properly; if not, people would then have to hide all of their money under their mattress or around their house. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of money. I always thought money was simple; we either have some or we don’t—that’s it. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. Money being transferred is something that is not seen. When we get paid, we aren’t handed cash, we don’t receive a physical check, the money’s all directly transferred to your bank account, and we just have to trust that we got more money.
