Welcome to the TIM£ is MON£Y vault.

Money,
a true story?
Money was created.
Born out of neccessity.
01
Money was decentralised.
02
This lasted for millennia.
But kings needed to fund wars.
So they introduced taxes.
03
Money was centralised.
04
To make it easier to control.
But at least it was still linked.
To physical commodities.
05
Now banks create money out of thin air.
06
Money is completely fictional.
