THE DEVELOPMENT OF MONEY TROUGH HISTORY

U suvremeno doba, novac je dobro koje olakšava i pojednostavljuje život i njime se mjeri vrijednost svih ostalih dobara. Novac se upotrebljava kao opće prihvaćeno sredstvo razmjene i plaćanja. U prošlosti se roba mijenjala za robu čime je skupina domaćinstava međusobno mijenjala proizvode rada. Takav je sistem bio dobar sve dok nije nastupilo zasićenje određenih proizvoda. Ljudima je postajalo sve jasnije koje su sve slabosti trampe te su počeli tražiti neki predmet koji će zamijeniti za nešto drugo i zbog toga je nastao novac. U svojim počecima nije bio kao današnji, novac su bile samo određene stvari kojih je bilo u ograničenim količinama. Kroz povijest novac se konstantno razvijao sve do današnjega papirnatoga novca, ali i kartičnog načina plaćanja. Zasigurno će se i trenutni oblik novca razviti u nešto virtualno, tj. digitalno - samo je pitanje vremena. U ovome će se radu prikazati povijesni razvoj novca u svijetu te, posebice, u Republici Hrvatskoj.In modern times, money is a good that makes life easier and simpler and measures the value of all other goods. Money is used as a generally accepted means of exchange and payment. In the past, goods were exchanged for goods, allowing a group of households to exchange labor products with each other. Such a system was good until the saturation of certain products occurred. It became increasingly clear to people what all the weaknesses of barter were and they started looking for some item to replace it with something else and that is why money was created. In its beginnings it was not like today, money was just certain things that were in limited quantities.Throughout history, money has been constantly evolving until today's paper money, but also the card method of payment. Certainly, the current form of money will develop into something virtual, ie digital - it is only a matter of time. This final paper will show development of monew through the history in the world, and especially in the Republic of Croatia
