解析
我们可以根据上下文逻辑逐一匹配选项：
16. 前文提到人们生产出了超出自身需求的产品，后文提到为了让交易更便捷人们开始使用早期货币，F选项“所以他们开始交易来获取自己想要的东西”可以自然衔接“有多余产品”和“出现交易、早期货币”的逻辑，符合语境。
17. 前文提到人们开始使用硬币，后文提到不同国家开始打造带有特殊图案和标识的本国硬币，E选项“因为它们体积小、便于携带”解释了硬币被人们选择使用的原因，衔接通顺。
18. 后文提到某事物早在11世纪就出现，还提到马可波罗在中国见到纸币，D选项“纸币最早出现在中国”引出本段的核心话题纸币，符合上下文逻辑。
19. 前文提到意大利旅行家马可波罗在中国见到纸币十分惊讶，后文提到西方国家直到约600年后才开始使用纸币，B选项“他后来把这个理念传到了欧洲”起到承上启下的衔接作用。
20. 前文提到如今有很多现代支付方式，后文提到人们认为这种支付方式比携带沉重现金更快捷、简单、安全，A选项“很多人喜欢手机支付”对应后文描述的现代支付的优势，符合语境。
多余选项C不符合任何一处的上下文逻辑。
