Money seems to have a big role in our society; people can’t do much or get far if they don’t have any. Money is valuable in different ways, even when we don’t see it physically. In today’s society we 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 your money under our mattresses or around the house. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of all the money. I always thought money was simple; there either is some or there isn’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. The money is not actually able to be seen being transferred. When you get paid, cash isn’t handed over, a physical check is not received, the money’s all directly transferred to the bank account, and we just have to trust that the money went through.
