What is money?
What money is for and where it comes from
The story
Long ago, people swapped things. A farmer might swap a goat for sacks of maize. But what if the maize seller didn’t want a goat?
The big idea
Money makes swapping easy. Everyone agrees a KES 100 note is worth KES 100, so you can swap it for almost anything.
