The History of Money

中級

A long time ago, people did not use money. Instead, they traded goods like food, clothes, and animals. This system is called bartering. However, bartering was not always easy because people needed to find someone who wanted their goods. Later, people started using metal coins. Coins were more convenient because they were small and easy to carry. Many years later, paper money was introduced. Today, most people use digital payments like credit cards and online banking. The way we use money keeps changing with new technology.

お金の歴史

昔、人々はお金を使いませんでした。その代わりに、食べ物や服、動物などを交換していました。このシステムは物々交換と呼ばれます。しかし、物々交換は必ずしも簡単ではありませんでした。なぜなら、自分の持っている物を欲しがる相手を見つけなければならなかったからです。その後、人々は金属の硬貨を使い始めました。硬貨は小さくて持ち運びが簡単だったので、便利でした。さらに何年も後に、紙幣が導入されました。今日では、クレジットカードやオンラインバンキングのようなデジタル決済を利用する人がほとんどです。お金の使い方は、新しい技術によって変化し続けています。
