Money seems to have a big role in our society; one can’t do much or get far without money. Money is valuable in different ways. In today’s society one must have faith in the government and in the banking system that money is being handled in the proper manner; if not, then everyone would have to hide all of their money under the mattress. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of money. I always thought money was simple; either a person has money or we 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 money being transferred. When anyone gets paid, they aren’t handed cash, they don’t receive a physical check, the money’s all directly transferred to their bank account, and everyone just have to trust that you got more money.
