<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 452252, member: 112&quot;]Well let&#039;s see, Jesus threw the money changers out of the Temple at what, the age of 12 ? Now if money wasn&#039;t used much - why do you supoose they needed money changers ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Money changers were the bankers. They allowed people from far away lands to exchange the money they had in their possession, for the money of the land they were in at the present time. Why ? Because the money changers were the only ones who really knew enough about the coins of all the lands to be able to tell how much they were really worth. They were the ones who knew how to recognize a fake, they knew how to assay the metal, they knew how to weigh each coin. They were the ones who had the tools like karat needles and the skill required to use them. And karat needles were around long before the birth of Jesus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the bartar sysyem was used long after Christ. But money was used even more before and after. And it was used by ordinary citizens, not just the rich.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
