How Did the Idea of ‘Currency’ Evolve Over Time?

Long ago, people didn’t have coins or paper money. They used barter, like trading a chicken for some grain. Later, they started using shells, coins, and even paper notes to make trade easier. Today, we use digital money, like Bitcoin, which is stored on the internet. It’s like magic, you can send money from one place to another in seconds!
