Before money was introduced to Aotearoa, everyone worked in their hapū to grow, work, and trade for what was needed in their community. The Brits arrived and introduced “special tokens” that were used at markets for trading goods and services – this is what we call money. In this episode, Robbie looks at this “special token” system, what the rules are, and how the government of New Zealand is involved.
