Money has evolved over thousands of years from bartering goods and services to a standardized system of coins and paper currency that could represent value. Early civilizations used commodities like cattle, grain, and salt as a form of money before metal coins were introduced as a more durable and portable way to represent value and facilitate trade. Today most modern currencies are fiat money, backed by government regulation rather than physical commodities, though they were originally tied to gold or silver standards.
