One of the first forms of money was actually a type of seashell: the cowry. People in southeast Asia and parts of Africa used cowries from 1500 BC to 200 AD. Money, as we know it today, has a very long history. There are several opinions about who the inventors of coins were. Many experts claim that the Lydians, 6) ....... who lived in the part of the world that is now Turkey, invented the first coins nearly 3,000 years ago. Paper money dates back to ancient China. A shortage of copper* made the Chinese start producing money made from paper. The first recorded use of paper money goes back around 1,300 years ago.

Today, money is more than paper or metal currency. People have been using credit cards instead of money since the early 1900s. Consumers use them to pay for their purchases in supermarkets. More and more people use the Internet to pay their household bills. Indeed, today a person can spend vast amounts of money, without laying their hands on a single 7) ....... or banknote!
