Do you mean in Europe? Pretty sure money has been used quite a bit in many other places.
- rubyn00bie 4y ago> Do you mean in Europe? Pretty sure money has been used quite a bit in many other places. I mean pretty much everywhere. Money wasn't used the same way it is today, and it wasn't until the 1500s that really emerged as a result of the Dutch being prolific traders. Coins existed but money wasn't spent, or used, like it is today... Barter was the primary way for people, both rich and poor, to acquire goods.
