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, having faith in the government and in the banking system, and that money is being handled in the proper manner, is fundamental to the continuation of our economic system; without it, people would have to hide all of their money under their mattresses or around their houses. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of money.I always thought money was simple; the rich have it and the poor 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. One doesn’t actually see their money being transferred. Nobody actually sees money being transferred. When we get paid, we are not handed cash, we do not receive a physical check, the money is directly transferred to our bank account, and we just have to trust that we obtained more money.
