HISTORY
Some commentators trace the origins of commerce tothe very start of communication in prehistoric times.In historic times, the introduction of currency as astandardized money facilitated a wider exchange ofgoods and services.The circulation of a standardized currency providesthe major disadvantage to commerce of overcomingthe "double coincidence of wants" necessary
for barter trades to occur . Currency solved thisproblem by allowing a society as a whole to assignvalues and thus to collect goods and serviceseffectively and to store them for later use, or to splitthem among several providers.
