Money is used for buying and selling goods. Modern world has a money
economy, where paper notes and coins are used. But this has not always been true. In
primitive times other systems of money were used, for example barter. Barter was a
system of direct exchange of goods. Barter was not a good system because people’s
needs were not the same. They needed a more practical system of exchange. For it
people used salt, tobacco, teeth; later metals were used as money in the form of coins.
Coins are used now too.
