    WHEN A BANK WAS A LOCKED GOLDSMITH CHEST TRADITION AND ORIGIN
    Banking in the modern sense of the term can be said to have originated in
    England in the foundation of the Bank of England in 1694. Previously to this the
    goldsmiths had exercised some of the functions of a banker, and some of the
    oldest existing private banks are the direct descendants of these goldsmiths,
    notably Messrs. Child & Co. and Messrs. Hoare. At the time of the Great
    Rebellion men had found it convenient to lodge their money for security with the
    goldsmiths, who for the purposes of their own trade usually possessed ample
    accommodation for storing plate and jewellery. The depositors received a
    receipt, and when they wished to withdraw a portion of the money, the amount
    so withdrawn was often written across the face of the receipt. These receipts
    were the parents of the bank note, the transition from an acknowledgment of
    money received, to a promise to pay, being an easy one
