t's midnight in Paris and I need money quickly.
The banks are closed, but outside there's a cash
machine. I put in my bank card, enter my PIN
(personal identification number) and ask for 500
euros. The cash machine sends a message to my bank
111 Washington D.e. My bank replies to the message
and says I have the money in my bank account. After a
few short moments, I receive my cash.
Nowadays, we move money around the world at high
Speed. I can get money from a bank anywhere in the
world or I can pay my hotel bill with a credit card. In
facl, some people think we don't need money at all.
Before money, people bought and sold goods with
animals. But you can't carry aninlals around your neck
or in a bag so people needed something small. About
three thousand years ago, the Chinese used seashell
and lat r they used metal coins. The Roman also
bOUght and old objects with metal coins.
In the thirteenth century, the explorer Marco Polo
travelled to China. He saw paper money for the first
time. A century later, countries in Europe used paper
money too. One reason was that it was good for paying
large amounts.
Like paper money, cheques were also practical and
the Bank of England made the flfSt cheque book in the
runeteenth century. Then, in the early runeteen flJties,
the USA introduced credH cards or 'plastic money'.
This form of payment i still popular today.
For the first time ince human used animals for
payment, we can now buy and ell with no coins,
not es or cheque . You can even pay for goods by
mobile phone. In Africa, arollnd sLx million p<'ople
already use mobile ph on s in lead of cash. So do we
live in cash!e world'? ot quite. Every day, we need
some cash for a coffee, a licket or a nl'W paper.
