Did you know that pirates had gold earrings because if they were shipwrecked and washed up on a foreign shore they knew they could always trade their gold earring for food etc.

money was actually first used by romans if my memory serves me correct! :thumbs:

if a fly didnt have wings, would it be called a walk?

we have toes nails for the same reason we have finger nails, to give more structure and support to the other side so that they can be used to grip things better.

money was invented because people used to use gold, or chickens, or veg, etc as a way to buy things. Eventually, when banks came about, and people put their gold into banks, they got slips saying how much they had, etc. This eventually got used as a way to buy things, and so money came about!
