Nine thousand years ago, people did not have money. They traded animals for
things they wanted. They traded crops for what they wanted. In China, in about
1200 B.C., people traded shells for the things they wanted. Chinese people also
traded metal tools for the things they wanted. For example, they traded metal
knives and shovels for the things they wanted. Later in China, people made metal
money. In about 100 B.C., the Chinese made money of animal skin. The first paper
money was made from white colored deer skin. It came from China about 900
years later. In about 700 B.C., people made the first round metal coins. The coins
were made of gold and silver. They looked very similar to the coins we use today.
These coins came from Lydia. Lydia was located where the country called Turkey
is located today. After people made coins in Lydia, people in Rome, Iran, and
Greece also began making coins. Coins were very durable - they were strong and
could last a long time without becoming damaged. Wampum are necklaces made
from beads and seashells. The beads had holes in them. People put beads on
strings. American Indians used wampum for money in the 1500's. Money changes
with time. No matter what it looks like, money is an idea. It is the thought that
