Why a “Bank."
A bank is so called because the bench
or low table upon which money was
changed long ago was everywhere
known as a “bank,” the German word
of bench. The French spelled it
“banque;” the Italians softened it to
“banca the English left it unchanged.
When a man who ran a “bank” or
bench for changing money could not
meet his business obligations, his
bench or “bank” was broken or rup
tured, and he became known as a
“bankrupt.”—Unidentified.
