Marudhar Arts
Long Before Credit cards, cheques and paper currency came into existence, with the advent of civilization, man felt the need after the invention of fire and the wheel that there had to be a universal form of currency that had to be exchanged between the buyer and the seller which endorsed trade and commerce. The sense of possession one developed before trading the commodity and who gave the prerogative of ownership is not very lucid, but these exchanges eventually led to an acceptable form of prevalence which was deemed fine to all the parties concerned, be it the buyer or the seller or the intermediary involved. There were different kinds of commodities that were exchanged which often resulted in acrimony amidst the concerned parties sometimes, with one party feeling more often than not, he/she has been hoodwinked and swindled.
