A World Without Money
My name is Danielle! When there wasn't money, people traded. If men had a wife who knew how to weave baskets, he would trade his wife's baskets for a spear or weapon. You might even have to trade your old small clothes for new better fitting clothes! Your cd player would be like 17,000 doller's to buy a car with. What would you do if you don't have any belongings? How could you just give up your things? Write back!!!!!!!
Your friend,
Danielle
Money Around The World
There are billions of types of money in the world.Money has 3 main uses. First and most important it is a medium of exchange. Second it serves as a unit of account. Third use of money is as a store of wealth. The first coins may have been made during the 600's BC in Lydia, a country in what is now western Turkey. The coins were bean-shaped lumps of eletrum, a natural mixture of silver and gold. The coins were stamped with a design to show that the king of Lydia guaranteed them to be of uniform value. Early people had no system of money. People had to trade as far as we know. Every country has its own type of money. And each country has a name for its money.

A World Without Money
If there were no money I don't know what I would do. If I didn't have any money I couldn't buy anything. Like if a farmer needed help you could probably work for food or shelter. But if they didn't need work it would be hard for a lot of people. Like say if a person traded you some cows and they were sick. That would be bartering. If you had an apple tree you could trade apples.

Dear Kids in the money project,
I have something to tell you.... Imagine being in a world without money....
how would you live? Say if you said that I'll trade you 2 donkeys for 1 gallon of water. Do you want to carry 2 donkeys around just for one gallon of water? Say if the donkeys were sick do you want to have sick donkeys? That's how I personally think came up with money.

A World Without Money
A world without money would be hard becuse you would have to trade stuff like cloth. You would have to trade hair barrettes and toys. You would have to trade big stuff for big stuff and little stuff for little stuff. So, if you don't have something big than you can't get anything big. That's why I like having real money.

If there was a world without money it would be crazy . The reason it would be crazy is because if you didn't have money you could not buy things .You could trade but if you wanted something from someone but you would not have any thing that they want, give services like you could plow someones field if they could feed you.

Hi kids,
In 640 B.C there was a coin made called the Lion Head coin. These coins were bumpy and bean shaped. These gold coins were made in Lydia, a land located in TURKEY. The lions head is the mark of the king of Lydia. People trusted the king so they trusted the money.

Dear Daniel (in Brazil),
Nobody will be able to buy anything in this world. As a matter of fact there wouldn't be anything to buy because nobody would be able to set anything up because in order to build something you have to buy materials to build anything with. I would have nothing, not even a house or a car or any clothes. Now that would be embarrassing big time!!!!!! Cut down a tree and really make me a house by a pond!!!!
Sincerely a money friend,

A World With No Money
If the world had no money we would have to trade with other people. We would have to depend on our neighbors. If we had to go to the hospital we would have to trade. We would not be able to get drinks from machines. If I wanted to buy a suit I would trade 8 and 1 half of a pound of fish I caught that day. I would also trade a set of books. To get food I would have to hunt or fish. I would build a home in the woods near a stream so I could 1. Fish 2. Hunt 3.Get Fire wood 4. Get water. I would sell fire wood.

1. Money is something that wasn't invented back a long, long long time ago. Before money the people traded goods for maybe goods other people had.
2. The reason why people started using money was because people got tired of trading things because maybe some people might not have had the things that other people had wanted!

Dear kids,
Hello my name is Levin. How are you? I'm fine. Did you know that I'm in the money around the world project? In America our money is called dollars and cents. What is your money called? Back in time people had to trade for things. Could you dream of having to trade for something you really liked? How is it where you live? Do you get allowance? If you do how much do you get? I get seven dollars. Do you like money and do you use it a lot? I don't use it too much and I like money.
Your friend,
Levin

I'm doing research on the new and old one hundred dollar bill. The person on the dollar bill is Bill Franklin. He was and still is a famous. He was an inventor. He invented lots of the things we use today. He was one of those who signed the Declaration of Independence. He was born in Boston, Mass.

Money is a way for people to trade. When you go to the store and buy something they give the money to the cashier and the cashier gives them whatever the paid for.
People used to use stones as money but the stones were very heavy. They started to use coins and paper and this was a lot easier.
A world without money would be very difficult. People have to make things and work very hard to get one thing that want.
OUR MONEY
Long ago there was no money. Early humans did not need any money they used simple trades passed down from generation to generation. For example people like to fish it would be passed down . In America if we wanted to eat fish we would go fishing or go to the grocery store. I took a survey. Four out of 7 people would go to the grocery store and spend the money then go fishing for free. Over thousands of years the way of life changed. People began to trade food and objects.
