TRUTH !!
Cattle (which include sheep, camels, and other livestock) are the first and
oldest form of money. Each head of cattle was called a caput, which is Latin
for "head." So, a person with a lot of cattle had lots of caput or
"capital," a word still used today to describe money.
Throughout history, people have used many forms of money, such as soap,
cocoa beans, elephant tail hairs, entire elephants, grain, animal skins,
fishhooks, feathers, tea tobacco, bird claws, and bear teeth.
