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."

    I believe the two biggest of the "Last Century's Big Money-Related Innovations" were Bling-Bling and its predecessor, Bling. I was disappointed at their exclusion from the list.

    It's like I always tell the kids. A quitter never wins and don't trust whitey.
