This Christmas we need a grin even more than ever.<\/p>\n
Money is important to all of us. But what exactly is it? The way we use money has changed, along with so much else over these past months. Cowries to Crypto is a whimsical gallop through history, charting the evolution of ready cash in all its forms. The illustrations add so much and make the witty narrative accessible and charming.<\/p>\n
Cowries to Crypto views money\u2019s evolution from one civilisation to another. It starts with ancient man and those eponymous cowrie shells. Persians used clay tokens, but the Greeks seemed to have evolved money which might be more recognisable today \u2026for those few of us who actually still use coins.\u00a0 The folding stuff came later and was first documented in China.<\/p>\n
This amusing book is stuffed with facts about money in all forms but also considers its place in society and politics. It would make the perfect gift for anybody who wants some Christmas reading but don\u2019t fancy a thick spy novel. Cowries to Crypto: The History of Money, Currency and Wealth is an educational winner!<\/p>\n
