Money has changed over time. First people used to trade or barter when they wanted something. Then, people began using items to act like currency. For example, the ancient Mayans used to use chocolate as money. Next, people created coins to be used as money. This made currency more standard, but it weighed a lot. Later, paper money was used. Today many people pay for things with a credit card.
