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 we don’t see it physically. In today’s society citizens must have faith in the government and in the banking system that our money is being handled in the proper manner; if not, then we would have to hide all of our money under our mattresses or around our homes. The internal workings of a bank are an unsolved mystery. Many people have a simple belief about money; either we have some or we don’t—that’s it. However, after studying the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts a clear similarity becomes obvious. We never actually see our money being transferred. When payday arrives, we aren’t handed any cash or a physical check, it is all transferred to a bank account. We must trust that we actually received more money.
