Our honest and trustworthy Fred discovers paper currency. Fred's system: - Fred tracks gold deposits and withdrawals by issuing receipts for each deposit.
- Fred returns the gold in exchange for a receipt.Three features:
- First: The knight need not, and probably does not, withdraw the same gold deposited.
- Second: Fred need not personally know each knight requesting services.
- Third: Gold receipts are as good as gold, because people know the receipts can be redeemed for gold.Therefore:
- Gold receipts become money for the local economy.
- Fred has discovered paper currency, fiat money, and what is comparable to the checkable deposit function of modern banks.
