Money hasn't always existed. In fact, for tens of thousands of years humans managed very well without it!

Nowadays, we need money for almost everything we do, but have you ever stopped to think about what it actually is?

Discover where money came from, how it really works, and find out whether you are a big spender or a super saver!
