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 when we don’t see it physically. In today’s society we all must have faith in the government and in the banking system that money is being handled in the proper manner; if not, then we would have to hide all of the money under mattresses or around homes. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of ones money. I always thought money was simple; one either have some or one doesn’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, we aren’t handed cash, we don’t receive a physical check, the money’s all directly transferred to our bank account, and we just have to trust that we got more money.
