Doesn’t everyone realise that, what the whole world knows as money is just little bits of metal and paper?

Yeah,I toughed about it.You know,in the world,there has to be some order.That order is mad with help-money.You see,not everyone thinks at this way.When I am buying chocolate or bread,or anything else,I think to my self:I am giving her just paper and coins.She is giving me food.But money...It makes people do awful things.Killings,corruptions,wars-everything just because of the money.It is sad really.Humans highest goal is to earn more money,then spend it,then earn more money etc.etc.You can stop it.But if you think for just like 5 seconds,you will see that,unfortunately,money does make the world go around.It is true.

Coins. Many years ago we were using coins made of gold and silver because the coin itself had value. Paper=not valuable, so paper money was not first.

I guess there isn't any way to know for sure that we know everything is there?\n\nYou could take the perspective of some people and "just have faith".   No need to use reason or logic, no need to ask, no need to doubt.....JUST HAVE FAITH!

I know this is probably stupid, but i worry about money all the time. As much as people don't want to admit it, money does make the world go round.Without money, you could loose many things because you couldnt afford to take care of it. I'm always worried about bills being paid or being able to buy my children what they need. I quess that just makes me human.

If our society changed to another form of currency, than the new form would be considered the "root of all evil."  This phrase is based on that everyone wants money; to survive or just have that nice, new gadget.  It makes others do crazy things to get it, whether working all day and nite or even cheating or stealing.  Unfortunately there is no simple solution to solve the problem with distributing currency equally, because of greed and envy.

obviously with the advancing technology systems used to activate any and almost ALL transactions today, paper money will be non-existent very soon!  i mean, how many people do you know that actually write out and use a paper check from their checkbook to make a purchase nowadays?    besides, communism is a necessary step to the demise of our humanity and society!

Money makes the world go round, unfortunately greed comes with that.  We are the greediest country in the world.  It sucks, because there is so much to marvel at when you look at this country but also so much to mock.

Money is the most talked about subject in the Bible. Therefore it is a very important fact of life. However, we are not to lay up our treasures in this life. Money is a gift that we should use wisely and a sad fact that many do not. \n\nIf we learn the principals of the gift, we will gain in ways we cannot imagine.

I am not sure about small children, but it seemed to help my exchange student when I explained the history behind the coins why  they are valued the way they are. First, a penny is copper, a very cheap metal. Then the nickel is made of nickel, a more expensive metal. The dime is smaller since it used to be made of silver. That is also why it is reeded when the nickel and penny are smooth sided.\n\nI agree that American money is very unfriendly in learning its use. Most other nations are easier to learn.\n\nBy the way, the reason the Canadian quarter was probably rejected was that it has a different magnetic signature than American ones. That is how machines prevent slugs from being accepted.

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there is Mastercard. \nI really love this ad and whenever I thnk of this, I know- yes there are some things in life which money cannot buy like love and we should value those things.

ah, the utopian question.  in a society in which money doesnt exist, presumably everyone would do what they are best at/enjoy the most, and they would help each other out when they needed.  of course, most humans (and I would venture its close to ALL humans) are greedy, and the strive for money dominates their lives.  thus, the importance of a job is to be able to provide for yourself and your family in a flawed system where the dollar is the real god.

that we dont trust people with our money but we will waste our money on stupid pieces of metal!

that's a meaningless question.  money is an infinite resource because in and of itself it holds no value.  a dollar AS A PHYSICAL ITEM is worth less than a penny in terms of the materials that comprise the dollar.  It is only because the world agrees that a dollar holds some value relative to the economic position of the US overall that gives it its purchasing power.  No country in the world has a currency that is backed by a fixed amount of resource (such as gold).  The US used to be on a gold standard, where the number of dollars allowed to circulate was tied to gold reserves held by the US (at, say, Fort Knox).  But Nixon removed that linkage, and ever since we've had a free-floating dollar.  We print as many as we need keeping in mind that the more physical dollars there are in circulation, the greater the chances of inflation.
