             In the America colonies there was little money.England did not supply the colonies with coins and it did not allow the colonies to make their own coins,except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony,which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins..England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade:America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries.The result during this prerevolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money:beaver pelts,Indian wampum,and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money.The colonists also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain.Dutch,Spanish,French,and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.

            During the Revolutionary War,funds were needed to finance the war,so each of the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money.So much of this paper money was printed that,by the end of the war,almost no one would accept it.As a result trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still flourished during this period.

            By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists,the monetary system was in a state of total disarray.To remedy this situation,the new Constititution of the United States,approved in 1789,allowed Congress to issue money.The individual states could no longer have their own money supply.A few years later,the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic standard.In this bimetallic system,both gold and silver were legal money,and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
