Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for  storing wealth. Almost every society now (to have) a money economy based on coins and paper bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the marketplace that they con­sidered to be of equal value. Barter, however, (to be) a very unsatisfactory system, because people's precise needs seldom coincided. People (to need) more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods members which the members of a society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, skulls, salt, elephant tusks and tobacco have all been used. Precious  metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable and divisible into larger and smaller units of value. A coin (to be) a piece of metal, usually, disshaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins (to be given) monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value — the value that governments choose to give them, irrespective of the actual metal content. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really "promises to pay". Paper money (to be) obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where "money" in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.
