explanation: moneychanger

Because there was more trades, the use of money increased.

Each city made their own gold, silver coins and copper coins.

That is why each city market  had a moneychanger. He weighed the coins and determined the value. He exchanged the people's coins for the local currency.

Explanation: banks

During ''the time of cities and states'' people started to pay by giro. This is a system how people could pay by transferring money with the help of banks.

How did they do it?

Merchants stored their money at the bank and got a ''bill of exchange''. When a merchant went to another city, he could withdraw the money from the same bank with show the  ''bill of exchange''.

Trading became safer and easier because of the Giro.
