The story of money

Using a ligh-hearted approach, "The story of money" explains the purposes of money -- a medium of exchange, a standard of value, and a store of value. The booklet also describes the characteristics that items used as money should have -- such as portability, fungibility, and divisibility. It shows how some items that were used as money in the past lacked these qualities, and, were, therefore, ineffective forms of money.
