    The Story of Coins | Trust Moves with Us

    Before there were banks, paper money, or credit cards, there was a problem in a growing society.  How do you trust someone you've never met? In this episode of Money's the Matter, we travel to the ancient Kingdom of Lydia, where one small piece of stamped metal transformed commerce forever. Discover how the world's first coins simplified trade and allowed trust to travel beyond reputation, helped connect strangers across civilizations, and quietly changed the course of human history. Along the way, we'll explore the origins of coinage, the symbolism behind ancient money, why Jesus was asked about a Roman coin, and how an innovation from more than 2,600 years ago still shapes every transaction we make today. Next time you flip a coin or hear that familiar jingle in your pocket.  You're not only hearing metal.  This is a story of how metal became a story of humanity and trust.

    Money Is a Human Story | Humanity's Greatest Agreement

    We use money every day without giving it much thought. We earn it, spend it, save it, invest it, and occasionally worry about it. But what is it, really? In the first episode of Money's the Matter, we travel back thousands of years to a world before banks, before stock markets, and even before coins. Along the way, we explore a simple question that changed civilization forever: How do complete strangers learn to trust one another? This isn't a story about wealth. It's a story about cooperation. From quiet villages to the first great cities of Mesopotamia, we'll discover why money wasn't invented to make people rich—it emerged because human beings needed a better way to remember promises, exchange value, and work together on a scale never before imagined. By the end of the episode, you may never look at the cash in your wallet, the balance on your phone, or even Bitcoin in quite the same way again. Welcome to Season One: The History of Money.

    Welcome to Money's the Matter | The History of Money, Season 1

    Welcome to Money's the Matter. Money touches nearly every part of our lives, yet most of us rarely stop to ask where it came from, why it works, or what it reveals about the people who created it. This podcast explores the history of money, investing, markets, psychology, and human behavior through stories rather than lectures. Together we'll travel from ancient marketplaces to modern stock exchanges, from financial panics to extraordinary innovations, always asking the same question: What can money teach us about ourselves? Some episodes will uncover forgotten moments in financial history. Others will explore timeless ideas that continue to shape our lives today. If you're curious about how we got here and where we might be going, I'm glad you're here. Welcome to Money's the Matter.
