The Evolution of Currency

The evolution of currency is a fascinating journey through the history of human commerce and economic systems. Here's a brief overview of the key stages in the evolution of currency:

Banking and Bills of Exchange: Banking systems emerged in medieval Europe. Banks issued promissory notes or bills of exchange that could be used as a form of currency. These were the precursors to modern banknotes.
