extract and write true or false.
Before people used
money, they bartered, or traded things they had for the things they wanted. For
example, a person may have traded five goats for one cow. Bartering was not
always simple, though. Each person had to agree that the items being traded had
an equal value. Also, each person had to have something that the other person
wanted.
People invented
money to avoid bartering. Someone with five goats could exchange them for a
certain amount of money instead of a cow. The person could then exchange that
money for grain, cloth, or other goods of the same value.
1. First people
used only bartering. True/false
2. This process
wasn’t difficult. True/false
3. People invented
money to stop bartering. True/false
