So why do people want it? Think about the saying, "Money doesn't grow on trees." Money is considered valuable because it is hard to get. Suppose that you took a sheep to a market in China in the past, and you needed to buy a piece of cloth. How did you pay for it? The sheep was too valuable, but you could trade sheep milk for the object you wanted. This is called bartering. People could hand two shells instead of goat milk to the seller, which was the first system of currency in China. This was a much easier way to buy and sell things. Shells were not heavy and people could take them without any effort. The idea of currency was popular in Thailand, India and Africa. Another form of currency is metal coins, which first appeared in China around 1,000 BC. They were different in the shape, size and worth. Carrying a bag of coins can be heavy and coins are hard to store. They are two reasons why the use of paper money developed in China in the 10th century. The earliest European paper money appeared in Sweden in the 17th century. In today's global economy, exchanging money electronically is common. Many people use a bank card. It is easy to spend money today, but saving money is important. When you are considering spending money buying something, think of its necessity twice. 31. Why is money considered valuable? _ 32.
