However the use of 'money' started in the first instance, however happened to grow and expand from that point on, money/currency as a means of exchange did happen and it did take off in a big way. There is no denying that, how or why it happened doesn't change that it did happen, and here we are.

It didn't start as a means of exchange, and that was simply a by product of having it. Money started as a method of enforcing debts owed to the state.
