The book "The History of Money as Told by Gold: From Barter to Code"

The book "The History of Money as Told by Gold: From Barter to Code" traces the history and evolution of money throughout the ages, beginning with barter, then the emergence of the first coins in Lydia around 600 BC (King Alyattes), its development into banknotes in 1661, the advent of credit cards, and finally electronic money and Bitcoin. It's a story of transformation from simple exchange tools to complex financial systems. This book (by Ashraf Ali Hassanin) recounts this journey in detail, explaining its fundamental functions as a medium of exchange and a standard of value.
