Did you know that the word ‘moolah’ means ‘money’? Moolah or money has been part of human history for at least the last 3,000 years. Money wasn’t that popular before mainly because people were reliant on the system of bartering which was the oldest way of doing business back then. They say money makes the world go around but there’s so much that we don’t know about money. So, let’s give you 6 fascinating facts about money that you should know.
1. The oldest form of currency in the world are cows. As far back as 9,000 BC, people were trading cattle for the goods and services that they needed!
2. The Chinese were the first people to invent paper money around 806 AD. The first people to consistently use paper money were the french in the 18th century.
3. Gambling generates more money than music, movies, and sports combined.
4. You know how people refer to a dollar as a buck? Well, that originated before dollar bills when people used to trade animal skins for the goods and services they needed such as deer and elk bucks, hence the term, buck.
5. A common misconception is that money is made out of paper when in fact it’s a blend of cotton and linen so it’s actually more of cloth than paper.

There’s more to this list but this is enough to cover for now. Money, all by itself, has no genuine worth; it can be a piece of rock, a metal coin, or a piece of paper.
