The early banks in Europe were places for safekeeping of valuableitems （e. g. gold and silver bullion） as people came to fear loss oftheir assets due to war, theft or expropriation by government.Businessmen shipping goods across the sea found it safer to place the gold and silver they werepaid at the nearest bank rather than risking its loss to pirates or to storm at sea. In Englandduring the reigns of King Henry N and Charles I, government efforts to seize privateholdings of gold and silver resulted in people depositing their valuables in goldsmiths shops,who, in turn, would issue tokens of certificates, indicating that the customer had made adeposit at these businesses. Soon goldsmith tokens or certificates began to circulate as moneybecause they were more convenient and less risky to carry around than gold or other valuables.The goldsmiths also offered certification of value services——what we today might call propertyappraisals. Customers would bring in gold, silver, jewels or those valuables to have an expertcertify that these items were, indeed, real and not fakes——a service many banks still providetheir customers.
