Series · The Story of Money

From barter to UPI.

Our first series traces how money changed over thousands of years, and what each step teaches us about value and trust.

Earliest trade

Barter

Goods swapped for goods, if both sides wanted what the other had.

Ancient

Commodity money

Grain, cattle and shells became shared measures of value.

Around 6th century BCE

Coins

Punch-marked silver coins circulate in India.

Medieval to modern

Paper money

Notes backed by a promise, not by the metal itself.

1935

Central bank

The Reserve Bank of India is set up to manage currency and credit.

Late 20th century

Cards

Debit and credit cards make money a number on a network.

2016

UPI

Instant phone-to-phone payments for everyone.

See compounding

Small amounts, given time.

Move the sliders to see how a monthly SIP could grow. Green is what you put in; gold is the growth on top.
