Why is money green?

Money is green because the U.S. has the specific ink color that printers don't have. For that, people can tell when the money is fake or not.MoreUS currency is no longer primarily green in color, except for $1 and $2 bills. The use of green ink dates back to the mid-19th century when that color was very difficult to reproduce using the comparatively primitive printing methods of that time. Modern printing techniques have made that obsolete, and current bills have multiple colors to make them more difficult to copy. Some parts of the bills' designs still used the familiar green ink, mostly as a matter of tradition.

How did banking start?

The name bank derives from the Italian word banco"desk/bench", used during the Renaissance by Florentines bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green tablecloth.[1] However, there are traces of banking activity even in ancient times. In fact, the word traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire, where moneylenders would set up their stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards called macella on a long bench called a bancu, from which the words bancoand bank are derived. As a moneychanger, the merchant at the bancu did not so much invest money as merely convert the foreign currency into the only legal tender in Rome-that of the Imperial Mint
