Money seems to have a big role in our society; there is not much we can or get far if we don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even when it is not seen physically. In today’s society, people must have faith in the government and in the banking system that money is being handled in the proper manner; if not, then hide all the money that we own under the mattress or around the house. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of people’s 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 cruzeiros, and debit accounts now seem similar. Money is not actually seen while it is being transferred. When we get paid, we aren’t handed cash, but also don’t receive a physical check, the money’s all directly transferred to someone’s bank account, and we just have to trust that there is got to be more money.
