4.0

I do not know what I expected from this book, but it was not a book on money. The founding of coins for trading to be exact. Why would you trade a cow for an apple? A cow is much more valuable. But the herder only wants one apple. How do you make this trade? By instead trading coins and making everything have a coin price. This was a very interesting book. In the end it goes more indepth about the invention of coins. I liked it, and the illustrations.
