Money seems to have a big role in our society, but the poor 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; if not, then we would have to hide all of the money under our mattress or around our house. 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 cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. We don’t actually see our money being transferred. When we get paid, you aren’t handed cash, we don’t receive a physical check, the money’s all directly transferred to our bank account. The society just have to trust that we got more money.
