I saw the name of the exhibition very special and very novel at first.I am looking forward to seeing. I am very interested in the signboard at the entrance to the door. In a game-like way, let people first think about what can be exchanged as currency before they have seen the exhibition to do a preliminary test.

Anthropologists’ money bag By Kuan Yu Chou,    Department of Cultural Resources and Leisure Industry    Money has always played an important role in our daily life. Have you ever wondered where were our money came? When I first came across the name of the exhibition - anthropologists’ money bag, I was very curious about it. In the beginning, I was wondering what the currency was and surprisingly found out that things I can’t even imagine were accepted as currency. From cigarettes and alcohol、 to instant noodles, which are mostly used as currency in jail. In prisoners are not allowed to exchange things for money. Another interesting thing is that Salt is also a form of money which can be paid as solders’ salary. Farmers can exchange crops for a haircut.
