Top 10 Inventions in Money Technology During the 1900's

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the layaway dept.

scuggums writes "The DaVinci Institute has put together an interesting historic piece to help put the world of money technology into perspective. While I'm glad to see the ATM machine made the list, I had no idea it was invented back in 1939. Other items on the list are barcodes, spreadsheets, and RSA encryption. This looks to be one of the research pieces the Institute's doing for their upcoming Future of Money Summit in October."

    You said plastic money which refers to credit, not to money made of plastic. Might want to check your english usage next time.

    Ahhhh, you appear to be speaking American English. Herein lies the problem. If you were speaking English you would not have confused plastic, plastic money and money made out of plastic (Those being Credit Cards, money made of a polymer and money made of a polymer).

    In practice, however, there is.
