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 if it isn’t seen physically. In today’s society, there must be faith in the government and in the banking system that money is being handled in the proper manner; if not, then it would be necessary to hide money under a mattress or around the house. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they handle money. I always thought that money was simple in that a person has it or they don’t. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeiros, and debit accounts now seem similar. The money is not seen being transferred. When paychecks are received, there is no cash or physical check. The money is directly transferred to a bank account, and faith is put into the fact that there is more money.
