You can get money orders from banks.  You used to be able to get them from the US post office, too, but I don't know if they still do that.  If you have a checking or savings account, then your best bet is to go to your bank.  Most banks will give their customers one or two free money orders per month.  Most other places will charge.

Sign your name on the back as it appears on the Money Order and hand it over to the person. They in turn should deposit it into their account.  This is called "endorsing the check".

The phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum (Latin for "New Order of the Ages") appears on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, first designed in 1782 and printed on the back of the American dollar bill since 1935. It is also appears on the coat of arms of the Yale School of Management, Yale University's business school. It is often mistranslated as "New World Order", but the Latin for that phrase would be Novus Ordo Mundi.

The Hebrews probably first used coins in the Persian period (500-350 B.C.). However, minting began around 700 B.C. in other nations. Prior to this precious metals were weighed, not counted as money.\n\nSome units appear as both measures of money and measures of weights. This comes from naming the coins after their weight. For example, the shekel was a weight long before it became a coin.\n\nIt is helpful to relate biblical monies to current values. But we cannot make exact equivalents. The fluctuating value of money's purchasing power is difficult to determine in our own day. It is even harder to evaluate currencies used two- to three thousand years ago.  Have a look at the chart on the website pasted below.

giro banking was invented by the ancient egyptians and was every bit as extensive and complex as it is today.They used corn as the currency – and it was based on quality rather than quantity –rather as if the French used wine as money.

Please BEWARE...Do NOT cash any money orders for them!\n\nHere is a quote from a site I found talking about how a man was charged for changing money orders and getting others to cash them.  Here is a quote from the site that I am attaching the link for below:\n\nSuch an altering scam, which inspectors call "raising," works because the people who change the denominations are getting more sophisticated and have better printers and scanners, said Inspector Smith, a spokesman for the services' Fort Worth division. The scammers, who also counterfeit the orders entirely, sometimes collect the money by using people they encounter on the Internet or in "lonely hearts club" chat rooms, he said. They persuade a person to cash the orders at banks – where not all tellers recognize the telltale signs of fraud, such as discolorations, missing security watermarks and ink bleeds. "They are looking for people who are easily duped," he said, speaking generally and not about Mr. Emuagbonrie. \n\nI hope this info helps you and causes you to be extra cautious and even possibly pass the persons info who contacted you onto autorities.  It is VERY illegal.\n\n:-)

It is thought that John D. Rockefeller is the richest man that ever lived (adjusted for inflation).  He paid for the creation of Rockefeller center in New York and started the University of Chicago with its initial endowment.  It would be very difficult to find someone richer than him from the eras before modern accounting.

The history of the US Mint starts when the subject of a National Mint for the United States was first introduced by Robert Morris.  During the Confederation the different States had the unquestioned right to coin money, but only according to the standard of fineness, weight, and value, prescribed by the central government.  As head of the Finance Department, Mr. Morris was instructed by Congress to prepare a report on the foreign coins, then in circulation in the United States. On the 15th of January, 1782, he laid before Congress an exposition of the whole subject. Accompanying this report was a plan for American coinage. But it was mainly through his efforts, in connection with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, that a mint was established in the early history of the Union of the States. On the 15th of April, 1790, Congress instructed the Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, to prepare and report a proper plan for the establishment of a National Mint, and Mr. Hamilton presented his report at the next session. An act was framed establishing what became the US Mint, which finally passed both Houses and received President Washington's approval April 2, 1792.

The Knight's Templar were the first to have a system that was the closest to how current banks work. I'm unsure as to whether there was any interest...

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.
