Introduksyon Money is the thing that puts food on the table and a coat on your back (as in Iceland). For Filipinos, money means what brings food to the table. For Bill Gates, former wealthiest man in the world, money can mean his cash, assets or wealth.
Money can be defined as anything that people regularly use to buy goods and services from other people. It can be anything accepted as a means of paying for goods or services or for paying debts. Money has one fundamental purpose in an economic system: to facilitate the exchange of goods and services, to lessen the time and effort required to carry on trade. A person living and working in complete isolation has no use for money. It cannot be eaten or worn or used to promote productive processes. Having no occasion to exchange either goods or services with others, such a person has no need for money. Even if a dozen people lived together in isolation from all others, the use of money would be limited benefit to them; they could barter their goods and services among themselves with little loss of time and effort. As groups become larger, however, and wish to increase their degree of specialization and the size of their trade area, they find the direct barter of goods and services increasingly inconvenient and increasingly wasteful of time and effort. They therefore search for something that will enable them to escape the wasteful processes of barter, so they invent money. The researcher decided to study the history of Philippine money. To further increase the knowledge about money in the Philippines.

    We learned about what money is and what it does.

    There are several main functions of money. They are; unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value. Each function describes how money is used in the economy. The medium of exchange speaks to how we use money in exchange for goods. It is like a barter to get someone that has what I want to give it to me in exchange for something that they want. Money makes this an easier exchange. Everyone wants money, as it allows them to turn around and purchase what they want. If not for money we would have to exchange one good for another. For example if I want to buy a purse that someone is selling I can just give them a set amount of money and complete my transaction easily. If we did not have money the transaction would be more complicated. Now I would have to have something that person wants as well. If I do not have anything the other person wants, then I would have nothing to exchange for the purse.…
