Before countries had money, they relied on a barter system, where goods and services were directly exchanged for other goods and services. This system had limitations, such as the need for a double coincidence of wants, meaning both parties had to desire what the other offered. As societies grew more complex, the inefficiencies of barter led to the development of various forms of money, such as shells, metals, and eventually paper currency, to facilitate trade and improve economic interactions.
