The Origin of Primitive Money Adam Smith

This book presents the origin of primitive money and how it is used since the last centuries. (With the illustration of old moneys used by our ancestors.) "If money is viewed simply as a tool used to facilitate transactions, only those media that are readily accepted in exchange for goods, services, and other assets need to be considered. Many things - from stones to baseball cards - have served this monetary function through the ages." (The Federal Reserve Bank)
