Collecting..

In the older times, people do not really use any form of currency to buy what they need. People in the past just trade their goods at the market place. For instance, people from the uplands would trade their grains for products of the sea. As the years pass, people learned the value of currency and how money can be used as instrument to purchase goods and services. Since gold has always been considered as a valuable commodity, people in the past minted gold coins and use these gold coins to purchase goods and services.
