• Money is something that we hear and talk
about a lot, and so it is important to
understand how it works so we can make it
work for us, rather than against us.
The History of Money
In the old days people lived in small family groups and
were self-sufficient. What they produced (by hunting
and gathering) they consumed themselves
When people began to live in small settlements, they began
to specialise (produce only products they were good at
making) and traded for what they did not produce.
Trading goods
for other goods
is known as
BARTER.
Because of problems with barter, people began to
introduce the first forms of money as a medium of
exchange. Common items used were shells, beads,
precious metals and even salt.
But to barter effectively you need to have a DOUBLE
COINCIDENCE OF WANTS.
Eg: a person who wants to trade something must
find a person to trade with who has what they want
and wants what they have. This is time very time
consuming!
The form of money
that began to
dominate ancient
societies were
precious metals, such
as gold and silver.
These had real value,
were long lasting and
could be broken
down into smaller
amounts.
Early forms of money
A 640 BC one-third stater coin
from Lydia.
Metals were scarce, but large amounts were
heavy. Instead of carrying around this type of
money, people began to deposit their coins with
goldsmiths (which turned into banks) and used
IOUs (paper notes) which could be swapped for
coins at other goldsmiths.
QUESTION:
Which country issued the first
PAPER NOTE?
The first paper
money was issued
by the Chinese
Ming Government
in 1374. The notes
were called “Great
Ming Precious
Notes”.

Arishna?’ ‘I think I need to get a job. I need more money to do
the things that I want to do and I probably should be saving
some money too’. ‘Have you thought about the type of job you
would like?’ Bharnva asked.
‘That’s the problem. I’m not really sure what job I want. There
seem to be so many things to consider. How about you Bharvna,
will you be looking for a job?’ ‘Not yet – I don’t have time. But
there are many ways obtaining money’.

3. What did he do with all the money he made?
4. What does bankruptcy mean?
5. What mistakes do you think he made and what
advise would you offer?
Exercise: A bit of math
If Pauly Fuemana put half of the money he earned
from “How Bizarre” into a term deposit account for
one year @ 5% interest per annum – how much
interest would the bank have given him?
1 x year @ 5% p.a = $ ????

much interest would he have earnt.
3 years?
4 years?
How many years would it take for him to double his
initial deposit of $2.5m to $5million?
Exercise Answer
• Refer excel spread sheet for calculations
• How Bizarre came out in 1995 and if Pauly had of
put half into the bank that year then by 2010 he
would have doubled that initial amount to
$5.197m
How much can I expect to earn when I
leave school?

Minimum wage for 16 years+ is $13.75 per hour x 40
hours per week x 52 weeks per year = ???? per
