- **Event Description**: Why does the cost of living rise while money loses value? Learn how money changed from gold and silver to paper and fiat—and why it matters.About this Event? The History of Money: Currency, Crisis, and ReinventionMost of us rarely stop to ask what money actually is—until prices rise, savings feel weaker, and the cost of living seems to climb faster than life itself.But money has never been a fixed or timeless thing. Across civilizations and centuries, it has repeatedly transformed—from coins of precious metal, to paper notes, to bank credit, and finally to the modern world of fiat currency, where money is backed not by gold, but by trust, policy, and institutions.Join us for an eye-opening seminar that explores the global history of money and the surprising pattern that repeats again and again: money evolves, expands, destabilizes, and then gets reinvented. Along the way, we’ll examine how governments, banks, and economic crises have reshaped what money means—and why that history helps explain the financial world we live in today.? Presented by Dr. Scott Craig, an award-winning historian and university lecturer with over 15 years of teaching experience, this one-hour session is perfect for curious adults who enjoy exploring the deeper forces that shape our world.✅ What to ExpectA welcoming, conversational environment—no prior knowledge requiredA fascinating global journey from gold and silver to paper money and modern fiat currencyInsights into why money repeatedly changes—and how crises reshape currency systemsA deeper understanding of inflation, cost of living pressures, and the hidden mechanics of modern moneyA chance to connect with like-minded lifelong learners?️ Date & Time: Friday, 27 Feberuary | 12:00–1:00 PM?
