Can a monkey understand money?
Seven capuchins were handed metal tokens and taught that a coin bought food. They learned it. When prices dropped they bought more, and when their budgets shifted they adjusted, basic market logic with no training manual.
$FELIX was the one. An alpha with a hard preference for Jell-O, he bought it every time it was on the menu. One he cleared the till, launched the token basket into the group cage, and caused chaos. When the coins were gone, he paid the others in food to get them back.
The first monkey salesman was born. Open the monkey market!

"Monkey Market"
🚨MONKEYS MASTER MONEY: STUDY SHOWS PRIMATES TRADE, SAVE, AND YES—EVEN SELL SEX
Yale researchers taught capuchin monkeys to use currency, and things got wild.
Not only did these fuzzy financiers learn to comparison shop and hunt for bargains, but one entrepreneurial monkey even invented the world's oldest profession—trading coins for some monkey business.
The study reveals we share some eerily similar money habits with our primate cousins, from playing it safe with investments to panic-selling during market crashes.
Turns out being bad with money might just be evolutionarily hardwired!
