What man invented money?
I don't know who invented money but I know why money was invented. Long time ago people traded gold/ silver/ bronze for stuff. But all the gold/ silver/ bronze nuggets were in all different shapes and sizes so a law was passed, all gold/ silver/ bronze nuggets had to be a certain size and shape to be worth a certain amount. hence your 5 cent coins( bronze), 10, 20 and 50 cent coins( silver) and the 1 dollar coins( gold). Notes were created as there was a shortage of gold/ silver/ bronze
