What year did money changed to the way it is today?

The modern concept of money, as we know it today, began to take shape in the late 20th century, particularly with the advent of digital currencies and electronic payment systems in the 1970s and 1980s. The introduction of Credit and Debit Cards, along with online banking, revolutionized how transactions are conducted. However, the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies in the 21st century has further transformed the landscape of money, introducing decentralized digital forms of currency. Thus, while there is no single year that marks this change, the evolution has been gradual, with significant milestones occurring from the 1970s onward.
