M: How long are you staying in Edinburgh?
W: Just a day. What can I see here in twenty-four hours?

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use
money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want.
When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal pr paper. But people used to use all kinds
of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only
things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice
was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals
were used as money too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in
the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different
countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in
England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later,
other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive.
Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money.
The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper
money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
