Money was not invented in 1913 it was invented in 1876 for easy trade. They used to trade cows and sheep and other animals but they wanted something easier to trade so they invented money.
What Year Was Money Invented?
1500BC
Bartering and Commodity Money
In the beginning, people bartered. Barter is the exchange of a good or service for another good or service, a bag of rice for a bag of beans. However, what if you couldn't agree what something was worth in exchange or you didn't want what the other person had. To solve that problem humans developed what is called commodity money
A commodity is a basic item used by almost everyone. In the past, salt, tea, tobacco, cattle and seeds were commodities and therefore were once used as money. However, using commodities as money had other problems. Carrying bags of salt and other commodities was hard, and commodities were difficult to store or were perishable.
Coins and Paper Money
Metals objects were introduced as money around 5000 B.C. By 700 BC, the Lydians became the first in the Western world to make coins. Countries were soon minting their own series of coins with specific values. Metal was used because it was readily available, easy to work with and could be recycled. Since coins were given a certain value, it became easier to compare the cost of items people wanted.
Some of the earliest known paper money dates back to China, where the issue of paper money became common from about AD 960 onwards.
On March 10, 1862 the first United States paper money was issued. The denominations were $5, $10, and $20. They became legal tender by Act of March 17, 1862. The inclusion of "In God We Trust" on all currency was required by law in 1955. The national motto first appeared on paper money in 1957 on $1 Silver Certificates, and on all Federal Reserve Notes beginning with Series 1963

About 3,000 to 4,500 years ago, in China, cowry shells became the first medium of exchange. Then shell shaped mediums of exchange made from bone, wood, stone, lead and copper.Then bronzed shells 1500 to 1046. Then variously shaped bronze coins, and round bronze coins with square holes in the middle starting at around 221 B.C. During the Song dynasty (960-1279), A form of promissory note in the Sichuan province called flying money became very popular during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In 1024, the government took over the production of flying money, and then expanded the system into the world's first paper money currency.
Up until the Babylonian's time, money was live animals, skins, things from crops and other things that you could trade. The Babylonians created a system of money that was based on weight. One unit was called minna.
