Yea, right!
Once upon a time.....money did grow on trees. (Well sort of!!) On the cacao trees. Cocoa beans were used as currency by Mayan and Aztec civilizations over 1400 years ago.
According to history, 100 cocoa beans would buy a slave, 10 cocoa beans bought the services of a prostitute, 4 cocoa beans would buy a rabbit dinner. Some just exchanged their cocoa beans for gold. When they had too much money to spend, they brewed the excess into hot chocolate drinks.
In Spain around 1625, 200 small cocoa beans were valued at 1 Spanish real or 4 cents.
So money did grow on trees!! Today we spend our money on the chocolate, and forget about beans.
