Today , our currency is a mixture of coins and paper money . But it wasn't always that way. Before metai coins and paper bills existed , people used a lot of unusual things to buy what they needed . In one part of the world , for example , people used a shark's teeth as money. people in one area even used the bristles from elephant's tails for money. No one knows for sure when people started using metal coins for money . Archeologists have found coins dating from 600 B.C , so we know they have been around for a long time At first , people used precious metals , such as gold and silver , to make coins . They stamped the figure of a person or animal on each coin to indicate its value . In the 1200s , people in China used iron for their currency . These coins . weren't worth very much , so people had to use a lot of them to make their purchases . Because it was inconvenient to carry around a large number of heavy iron coins , the government started printing paper receipts . people took these receipts to banks and traded them in for coins. This is the first example we have for paper money . Today , most countries use a mixture of coins and paper bills for their currency . In the United States , the paper bills for their currency are all the same size and colour . For example , the one hundred dollar bill . In many other countries , the bills . come in various sizes and colours . The smaller sized bills are worth less money . This makes it easier for people to tell the value of their money at a glance . All these facts make the history of money a fascinating study . Below are some points about money : Feathers were the lightest money ever . They were used on the pacific island of Santa Cruz . Stones were the heaviest money ever . They were used on the pacific island of Yap. Some weighted over 500 pounds . The smallest money ever used was in Greece . The coins were made of metal , but smaller than an apple seed .
