When was paper money invented

1 answer

Paper money was first used in China during the Tang Dynasty, around the 7th century. However, it became more widely adopted during the Song Dynasty, which lasted from the late 10th century to the 13th century. The use of paper currency helped facilitate trade and commerce by providing a more convenient alternative to heavy metal coins. Other cultures and countries would not see the adoption of paper money until later, with various forms emerging in different parts of the world over the following centuries.
