Long ago, people lived off wild animals, fruits and other plants and they didn’t need to use money. As time passed, people had more products than they needed, such as animals and crops, so they wanted to trade with others. They began to use money to make it convenient. However, it was not like the money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt or large stones.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. Because they were easier to carry than goods. And countries began to make coins as their money.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, as early as the 11th century. An Italian traveller, Marco Polo, saw the Chinese use paper money when he visited China in the 1200s. After his travel, he told the Western people what he saw. But European countries started using paper money six centuries later than China.
Today we have many ways to pay for things. We can use coins, paper money, cards and mobile phones. Some prefer to pay by mobile phone. That’s because paying with a mobile phone is easier and safer than carrying a lot of “real” money.
