Paper+Money

Paper Money By, Margaret & Finn Paper money is very popular these days. The most popular currencies are Euros, Pounds and Dollars. Marco Polo from Italy was the one to invent paper money. In China they used iron money with holes in the middle, they were too heavy and so they got the paper money idea from Marco Polo; they made slips that told you how many iron coins you had. The Chinese have used paper money since 86 B.C. Only 400 years later did Sweden, the first country in Europe use paper money! And last but not least, paper money now a days is very hard to copy because people do things to money, like put a single thread of gold in the Bill. http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/89587308.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=6C4008C0FD9EB5A55FE98A4C28948F3188DCDA85B73A96B49279D34C5CE2F0BA
