I no longer feel lost

What I don’t understand is that they’re very eager to bring up that gold has been used as money (or store of value) for 5000 years, yet don’t acknowledge the thousands of years before that point to get to gold as money.

Which, to your point, was just an upgrade to previous forms of money.

The United States Secret Service, one of the nation's oldest federal investigative law enforcement agencies, was founded in 1865 as a branch of the U.S. Treasury Department.

It was originally created to combat the counterfeiting of U.S. currency - a serious problem at the time.

In fact, following the Civil War, it was estimated that one-third to one-half of the currency in circulation was counterfeit.
