Moolah, Dosh, Lettuce, Dough, Lolly, Bills. I’m sure your all familiar with these terms for everyone’s favorite thing…money.
"Money isn't everything...but it ranks right up there with oxygen."This genius quote by Rita Davenport shows the great passion people show for money and how much people yearn for it.
Money started as not a coin or notes but as something that was scarce and worth something to peoples livelihood eg. cattle was used to measure a mans wealth, shells, whales/sharks teeth were used to trade or pay for items.
This first trade was called bartering it was exchange of goods for other goods.
Salt, tea, tobacco and seeds were commodities. Commodities were basic items used by everyone, just like money today, its our basic item to survive today, eveything today costs money even just the basics, food and water. However these commodities were often awkward to transport or perishable.
