From the ancient days until now we humans have been continuously struggling and evolving for a peaceful and tension-free life. We are still thriving for a sustainable environment for various life forms to coexist. Our this nature of humanoid brain have also led us evolved from "Homo-erectus" species to "Homo sapiens" at present. Between these periods of evolution, humans never experienced a versatile platform of life for a long duration of centuries what we are able to experience today. This has been only possible because of the dedication, knowledge and wisdom of our ancient civilizations' people. They left their footprints of ideologies, technologies and innovations which we now have been able to implement and use them in our day to day lives. But have we ever thought what were the reasons of fear in them that they knew they couldn't survive for many years?? I guess we all know the exact answer which is none other than the problem of "coexistence". Humans have never accepted each other irrespective of their races, gender, color, nature, habits and many other significant features. Ancient people helped to fulfill various needs of their future generations including food, clothing and shelter as the basic necessities of life which we still rely on completely. Generations passed by and we did so many enhancements and modifications in just these three gems of life for our living. And now, we are able to eat various food items to keep us healthy, wear different styles of clothes for weather protection and construct beautiful designs of buildings to obtain a comfortable life of safety from other living animals. Year after year and century after century human population started getting dispersed at much faster pace all around the world. Due to this increase in population and distance between them, it led to the formation of different groups of people and different languages around the world. Different groups of people invented different technologies and ideas, but due to communication barrier it became difficult to spread to all parts of the world easily. And thus to overcome this linguistic and communication barrier, formation of common language platform were started by "Anglo-saxon" people during 5th century in Britain. Egyptian and Hebrew symbols were converted to form various alphabetical words which in modern days we are using "English" as a global language of communication. Unfortunately this success over formation of language was not the end of problem of human race during those days. It was not possible to educate each and every person about ideas and technologies by traveling a long distance from one place to other. And therefore a broader categorization of human population started on the basis of what we call "Religion". Some of the human races started writing scripts that could help captivate the attention of other people to maintain a systematic growth of human race. And thus the various small groups of people who were scattered around the world were getting united through this Religion platform. And today we are still living under the shade of various religions called Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Judaism and many other few. People from all religions believed their own principles and rules written in their respective holy books which were especially written for us to grow systematically in the world in such a way that once again this division of human population could be united at an another common platform to coincide with each others' thoughts, ideas, nature and habits. In order to bring people from various religions together on a common platform, there was an introduction of "Barter system" through which people shared their goods and services with other people irrespective of various religions. Due to increasing demands and desires of people, this couldn't let people enjoy their vivid desires and wants easily unless both the parties had what the other want. This led to the wastage of many perishable items and goods in search of the right customer. So in order to overcome these issues "Monetary system" was introduced later on as a medium of exchange of any goods or items or services when the "number system" evolved as a calculation method from the ancient "abacus" system used by our ancient people to retain some data as a memory. Before the Invention of "coins" as money commodity, cowery shells and bronze spades were used as a money commodity by people of Africa, Ancient China and India. The first early coins were minted in India around 6th century BC before the invasion of Alexander the great in 4th century BC. These were "punched-marked cions" made of silver and copper with animal and plant symbols on them.These coins were being in use until the reign of Mauryan Empire. Soon after the fall of Mauryan Empire punch marked coins were replaced by cast dye-struck coins by the end of 3rd century BC. These new coins were cast by pouring molten metal of silver or copper into two moulds. Later on Indo-Greek kings introduced their own Greek type coins with their some authority marks on them and was followed for about eight centuries. Coinage of Indo-Greek kingdom began to increasingly influence coins from other regions of India by the 1st century BCE. After the de-globalization due to First World War, now we are again globally connected by "International monetary system" which got introduced in the early 1940's by British and American policy makers. This was known as the Bretton Woods Era (1944 - 1973) by which we are still connected globally at present. Just to flourish our human race and to establish global connection with various human races through the entire world, we did so many inventions and discoveries until now. Unfortunately, the way of "coexistence" still remains unsolved and poverty and wars prevails everywhere in the world countries even after the introduction of "International monetary system" today. In fact, now we all are having adverse effects of money on human lives as and when adulteration got attached with money in all walks of life due to the increasing demands and needs of continuous growing population of the world. And not surprisingly we are now actually moving to backward direction of human life once again as we have still been unable to find an alternative way of human life where coexistence is possible without any poverty, wars and discrimination. We are still in a phase of struggling life without finding any futuristic idea of living with unity, peace and tension-free life which our ancestors might have dreamed of through their entire past journey!!!!
