In most modern countries, money comes in the form of coins and printed bills. Most of us have come accustom to considering these coin and bills as money, and of having a true value. While this might seems to be true, and to some extent it is, but money in really just a note. Hmmm, you might think a note? What does that really mean. A note is a piece of paper or coin that can be commonly traded for goods, and services.
The big problem with this note, is that it has no true value. What, what, does the mean, well it simple means that that piece of paper or coin could one day become just what it is, paper or metal coin. It could one day just be come worthless. After all it is just a note, take a look at any printed US dollar, and you will see that it is called a note, and is used as legal tender.
The value of this note, changes every single day. If the US needs to have some more money in circulation they just print more, and as a result, it lowers the value of all of our notes. This even includes the notes we have invested in, even those notes we have sitting in the bank, and of course in our pockets.
What caused all of this note madness you might be wondering? Well that is for another day.
