Where does "your" money come from? What is money and why was it invented? Answering these questions will require some research. And no, the barter story isn't real, or based on any facts.

Money comes form the productive ability of individuals. When they make something better, people want to buy it, and hencce, money.

And no, the barter system is not a lie and neither is daddy marx true. And no, I'm not going to write paragraphs for your two-liner.
