The Evolution of the Transaction [infographic]

Who doesn’t love a great historical overview of the payments industry? OK, perhaps it’s not a favorite read, but how about in the form of an infographic? Check out this depiction of transactions from 9,000 BC, continuing throughout the history of personal and business transactions. Cattle, cowries, wampum beads, gold…right up to preset day technology.  We’re surprised that gift cards aren’t displayed here, since they are a gifted form of payment, or
in the case of Scrip – simply a retailer-specific form of payment…but perhaps that’s too detailed for such a graphic. Let us know what you think…is the future, implants? Source:
