The first copper coins （硬币）were made in China．They were round and had a square hole in the center．Different countries have used different metals for their money．Later, some countries began to make coins of gold and silver （银）．But gold and silver were too heavy to carry when people needed a lot of coins to buy something expensive．The Chinese were the first to use paper money．The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today．
