today’s topic we talk about money and how anything can be money if valued by a person. The Yap valued Limestone and because of that it symbolized wealth. I feel like this really puts into perspective if paper money is really as valuable as we make it seems.

Paper money is important because the barter system is vastly inferior, and no one wants to carry around a bunch of coins because they are weighty and annoying. I don’t remember much about the Yap except that they had lots of massive pieces of limestone that acted as a representation of wealth. A lot of the images of bartering showed the flaws in the bartering system. People not valuing things equally, unequal proportions (a cow for a drink), and sometimes just bad offers.

The Yap are people that live on an island and do not use a modern currency system. The Yap use stones as a form of currency. In the United States, paper money has no real value other then the value that people give it or claim it has.
