视频学重难
How interesting! Before we had paper money and coins, people used shells, goats, tomatoes and other things to trade(交易). Trading often helped people get what they needed. Long ago, salt was very important because it kept food fresh. People traded salt for shoes, tools, food and other things. This way of trading things for other things is called barter(易货贸易).
About 9,000 BC, people used animals like cows, sheep and camels to pay for things. Some also used vegetables and plants. Then in 1,200 BC, people in China started using shells as money. Soon, other countries began to do the same.
The next development was in 1,000 BC. Chinese people made round metal coins. The very first coins often had holes in them. This way, people would put a string(绳子) through the holes to keep the coins together. By 500 BC, countries like Persia and Greece also used metal coins.
A few hundred years later, leather was used as money in China. Then in 806 AD, Chinese people made the first paper banknotes. Paper money came to Europe much later. It took about 300 years for all European countries to use it.
Today, money is still changing. In many places, people don't often use paper money. Instead, they use credit cards or pay online.
