It is interesting to know that currency has always been an interest in the human mind. "The Persians created a refined coinage, with miniature low-relief portraits of rulers, so that coins, in addition to their function as economic standards, served as propaganda (45)." Even in the 500 BCE, people were interested in having economic standards so that there would be a type of payment for the goods and services that people do/receive. During the Neolithic period people started living in societies with bigger and more complex community structures. Now societies needed "communal needs such as political and military affair" (12). In return for these jobs the government had to make up an accuracy to pay the workers in exchange. In today's society, money is an important factor that defines our lifestyle. Because currency of money has changed over the years, our money is not made up of gold, silver and bronze anymore. people use money in exchange for products, labor, and payment just like they have thousand of years ago.
