I "ve been asking myself about who invented the money we all use, because money has become the most valuable thing we need on earth the fact is people have committed a lot of crimes because of money, though according to the bible God said that money is good but what I don't understand is how much is the person who invented the money may have in his account ?

We need money to buy what we need. Exchange of goods is not very easy in large quantities.

@joelonyema I donĀ“t think that anyone knows "who". There has been money in ancient Rome, in Jerusalem and other ancient places.

I'm sure that money was invented by different cultures independently at different times. Certainly, none of those people are still alive today and there wasn't "accounts" when it was first made. Where does the Bible say that "money is good"? And why would it say that? I don't really understand that at all. Money is necessary since goods and services are harder to trade for various reasons.
Also, money isn't technically "valuable". It serves as a placeholder for value.

I doubt the person who decided curency was a good idea, is no longer living. Granted I still feel the old barder system was better. Held people accountable.

In ancient times, people traded their labors & products DIRECTLY for the products & labors of their fellow citizens. That was very inconvenient--having to carry around all your stuff or work when you've worked all you can work that day--so they'd do all their work and stuff-giving in one place, in exchange for 'pretty rocks' (like gold or silver).
Even those rocks got kind of difficult to carry around all the time, so--when you had too heavy a load of 'pretty rocks'--you could take them to a safe-keeper you trusted, and they would give you a signed note that promised your 'pretty rocks' were in the bank.
Eventually, people would trade "those notes" for labor & products, and the providers could either go to the bank and take the 'pretty rocks' for themselves or -could use the notes the same way the first person did. (That's why Americans--up until they went from "gold-based currency" to 'trust-based'--you could take your money to any bank in America and get its worth given/sent to you in gold.)

Money was mentioned as far back as the Patriarchs in the Bible.
