Enough About You-belladonna98

Our society is driven by money. The rich achieve great feats while the poor struggle to accomplish the most basic tasks. However, value is not only found in physical money. We place our trust in the government and the banks that our money is being handled properly, to avoid hiding actual, physical money under our mattress. Many people have no idea how the banks handle this money. Either someone has money or she doesn’t; the concept seems very simple. But this assignment opens eyes to the realities of a variety of currencies, such as the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts. The currencies all have one thing in common; no one sees them physically transferred. When we get paid, we are not handed a check, we are presented with a number on a screen that represents how much money is in our checking account. We just have to trust that that screen is correct.
