The goal of the final paper is to analyze the historical development of money. Money has its historical development from barter to the appearance of metal money, then coins and banknotes. Some money, such as metal coins, has real value in terms of the materials used to make it. However, paper money is more common in the modern world and usually the material it is made of has no real value. During the evolution of money, currency has taken several different forms. Today, money is the standard of value for all goods and services and serves as a means of exchange. Money is an object that has a certain value that enables trade in goods and services. Money has classic functions such as a unit of account, a means of payment and a store of value. There are a number of forms of money that do not necessarily perform all three functions. In the future, there are chances that current forms of money will be joined by new forms, although the likelihood of widespread acceptance of these forms is difficult to determine. There will certainly be a change in the form of money, both in transaction methods, that is, in physical and digital forms.
