 HISTORY OF MONEY

History of Money

 Explain to learners that the history of money dates back to the beginning of human kind
when people used the barter system to trade. Explain that money did not always exist.
Prior to money, barter was how goods were exchanged; however, barter was not very
efficient, as trading animals for other goods proved inconvenient. However, this system
had many short comings leading to:
- The introduction of cowry (shells) ‘money’ in trade.
- Precious metals (heavy to carry) and coins
- Promissory notes – legally binding notes that buyers use to promise sellers
unconditionally that they will pay specific amounts of money within a specific time
- Promissory notes gave birth to paper money – Notes, Cheques, Bank and credit cards
- Electronic banking (Electronic Fund Transfer ‘EFT’s)
 Definition of money: The official currency, coins, and negotiable paper notes issued by a
government.
 Instruct learners to mention and write down the denominations of the money used in
South Africa in their class work books.

Discuss the role of money in South Africa

- Medium of exchange
- Store of value
- Money is a unit of account
- Money is a standard of postponed payment

Characteristics of Money

- Durability
- Portability
- Divisibility
- Uniformity
- Limited supply
- Generally Acceptable

HISTORY OF MONEY
ACTIVITY 1
1. What would be some of the difficulties of using livestock or crops as money?
Think about the 3 main roles of money in societies listed in your notes. (6)

 Money is a medium of exchange - people accept money in trade for goods and
services.
Not all people would be willing to accept livestock as payment. √√
 Money is a means of payment - people pay for goods and services with money.
People may have something else of value to pay with, but only few people might be
willing to accept it as a form of payment. √√
 Money is a store of value - money can be saved and used in the future.
Lifestock is not so easy to save for the future. Crops can increase or decrease in
value, due to a shortage in times of a drought or an oversupply in good seasons.
√√
2. Read the following brain teaser. Then, in a group of 4, work out the pattern of
trade between the shoemaker, the carpenter, the fisherman and the
toolmaker.

The shoemaker wants new furniture, but the carpenter does not want new
shoes. The carpenter wants new tools. The fisherman wants new shoe, but
does not want any tools. The toolmaker does not want new furniture or new
shoes, but would love some fish.

If each group member takes one part and you act out the situation together,
you should be able to work out an answer. (4)

2.1 The shoemaker makes shoes for the fisherman √

2.2 The fisherman catches fish for the toolmaker. √
2.3 The toolmaker makes tools for the carpenter √
2.4 The carpenter makes furniture for the shoemaker. √

This seems simple enough, but it is not so simple if you consider the
question of value! How many fish would the fisherman consider a fair exchange
for his new shoes? And would a pair of shoes be a fair exchange for the tools and
the furniture?

3. Why do you think the earliest base metal coins were made with holes? (2)
Coins were often made with holes so they could be put together like a
chain. √√

4. What is clipping? What was done to prevent the practice? (4)

Dishonest people “clipped” the coins. Clipping was shaving off tiny pieces from the
sides of the coins. √ √ Coins were then made with serrated edges to avoid
clipping. √√

GR. 7 EMS – 2023 TERM 1 WORKSHOP MANUAL 12

5. What are the advantages of having paper money rather than metal coins?
(4)
(a) Basic metals are very scarce √√
(b) Paper money is not so heavy to carry large amounts. √√

6. Explain the advantages of cell phone banking. (6)

 Saves time, because you don’t need to go to a shop to pay an account or stand in a
long queue at the bank. √√
 Can pay accounts and do banking after hours. √√
 Saves transport cost, because you don’t need to go to the bank or to any shop to
pay your account. √√
 Text messages from the bank give you all the information you need to be perfectly
in control of your money and it’s delivered straight to your cellphone. √√
 Less banking fees if you make use of electronic banking. √√

7. Which country was the first to use paper money, and why? (4)
The first paper banknotes appeared in China, √√
because the Chinese invented paper. √√

NEEDS AND WANTS

Activity 1

Read through the case study and answer the questions that follow

Case study: The Naidoo family lose their home and the community comes to their
rescue

The Naidoo family of Steiltes, a suburb of Mbombela, lost their home and all their
possessions in a fire. The family consists of Naeem, who is 12 years old, his mother
and father, who are in their 30s, his younger brother and sister, who are 8 and 3, and
his grandmother, who is 65.

The grandmother has back pain and has to sleep in a special bed. Mr Naidoo has a job
as a store man, but his salary is not enough to afford a car so he travels to work by
mini-taxi and the two elder children walk to school. Mrs Naidoo looks after the
grandmother and baby daughter, and earns a small income by baking biscuits in her
oven and selling to people in the community. Fortunately they live in a very friendly
community where the people have come together to help by providing them with all
their basic needs.

1.1 List all the items that the community would have to provide for the Naidoo family to
satisfy all their basic needs.
1.2 Suggest FIVE items that Naeem, a Grade 7 learner, will need.
1.3 Mention specific things some of the family members would need in order to carry on
with their lives as they did before the fire.
1.4 Describe how you would help his family meet their needs if you were one of their
neighbours.

GR. 7 EMS – 2023 TERM 1 WORKSHOP MANUAL 14

Answers
Activity 1:

Needs and wants: basic needs of communities

Answers:

1.1 The items that the community would have to provide for the Naidoo family to satisfy
all their basic needs. These include food, clothing, water, shelter and sanitation. List can
vary and could include other needs such as healthcare and support if members of the
family were injured or traumatized in the fire.
1.2 Naeem, a Grade Seven learner, will need the basic plus various other items for
school, such as a uniform, books, pens and sport equipment.
1.3 To carry on with their lives as they did before the fire, the family would need safety
and security, primary healthcare and specific items like a stove, a special bed and other
household effects.
1.4 Answers will vary. It is important for learners to explain why they make certain
choices. For example learners may answer that they will help by supplying building
materials for a new house or may help with building the house. The point then needs to be
made that shelter is a basic need and therefore a necessary requirement.
