<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 892644, member: 4552&quot;]I suspect that is a big YES. Ask the average person what type of items were used in America before it was even the USA. Most probably would say Wampum, animal pelts, the bartering system, etc. This is due to almost everyone in the USA sees movies, programs on TV or reads magazines about the old West or our past here. In Rome, Germany, Poland, etc. people there are more used to studying thier own past, not ours. This would include previous currency. </p><p>I&#039;ve worked with people from all over the World. When coins come up they usually end up giving me coins from thier country. Most know a real lot of thier countries past monitary systems. Yet if you ask them about ours, they know very little. And since these individuals are rather on the higher educational brackets, I suspect they are more representative of people everywhere.</p><p>My Son spent some time at the University of Krakow for a few semesters. While there he found that although most people knew English, very few had the slightest idea of our monitary system but well knew all about thier own present and past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
