    This year, I'm making money (and GOLD)! Specifically, I'm going through the history of money and recreating the various forms of currency as they evolved through history. In this video, I explore both the origin of money and learn how to extract my own precious metal from the earth.
    Thank you to Alan Chenworth for his help, check out his book to learn more about gold panning in Utah: goo.gl/LPPrXF
    Thank you to our talented interns Randi and Donna (donnalynnart.com) who helped with the animations once again!

His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself.

    This channel deserves +5million views more than makeup channels. He is so dedicated to every step of the process, fantastic filming, and editing and he choses great people to learn from who come across well on screen whilst their specialist skills are being showcased. Fatastically informative, amazingly produced. Better than a lot of big-budget televisoon documentary series.A network needs to pick this up.

    Great video, especially with the gold panner's commentary over the thing. Even if something is too specialized for me to understand, beats the hell out of a video that panders.

    • @isidoreaerys8745
      @isidoreaerys8745 4 года назад +7

      It’s pretty decent. Anyone looking for an authoritative history of The earliest human economics should seek out Dr. James C. Scott’s lectures on RUclips.
      The earliest currencies were most likely grains themselves, which were seized as taxes by what was essentially a protection racket which became governments as they grew, developed writing systems and formalized debts.

    Gold Price Per Gram $43.57 Gold Price Per Ounce $1,355.10 Gold Price Per Kilo $43,567.44. while panning is physically demanding, it is also fun, which pays for the entire trip even if no gold is found. I wish I could pan for gold in my state but its illegal even on property i own. according to my state, all gold and silver thats found in streams in my state etc even if it is on your own property all belongs to the state.

    I really like how your channel highlights the benefits of society. There are ALWAYS going to be individuals who excel in certain areas, and who can therefore specialize. I also love your TRY EVERYTHING, SEE WHAT WE CAN REALLY DO approach. That MUST have been how early humans survived and eventually thrived. This is why I'm proud to be a Patron of your channel.

    As a kid, part of an excursion to the Bathurst race track was a gold panning session. We actually got a fair bit out. Mine was stolen (likely because a bunch of 10-11 yo kids thinking gold is, well gold) but it was quite cool to see. I remember it vividly. Might try it again some day, got a couple old sources in mind
