Money seems to have a big role in our society;  Can’t do much or get far if our bank accounts are empty. Money is valuable in different ways, even when it’s not seen physically. In today’s society, we must have faith in the government and in the banking system that your money is being handled in the proper manner; if not, then money would have to be hidden in mattresses, and all around the house. I have no clue what happens in the banks, or how they take care of your money. I always thought money was simple; it’s either there or nonexistent.—that’s it. However, being introduced to this assignment, the Yap Fei, US gold, French francs, Brazilian cruzeros, and debit accounts now seem similar. Money isn’t actually being transferred. When we are paid, there is no transfer of cash, or a physical check anymore, just a trust that more money will show up in our accounts.
