Ever thought why most people (Americans) call people the dollar buck? It came from the word buckskin from the American Indians. It was a commodity that they used to protect themselves from the cold. It was also an essential trading good. After the settlers came it became a popular trading material for the colonials.
Check this out. The people from the Yap Island in the South Pacific use 12-foot-high stone rings for money. They called the Fe, these giant things weigh more than a ton. The money is usually enough for you to buy a wife or a boat called canoe. I forgot to mention your the one who should go to the money. Imagine buying a bottle of coke with Fe.
