They used to pay soldiers in salt.

Before there was money, people used to
exchange things. They would give each other
things they both wanted; for example, youd give
a sheep and get a knife.

Traders used to prefer metals, like gold and
silver, because, unlike a sheep, they would last a
long time. The Egyptians used to exchange gold
bars.

The Lydians, people who used to live in part
of modern Turkey, invented coins about 2,600
years ago. The Lydians would put a picture on
their coins to show where the money came
from.
The Romans used to pay their soldiers partly
in salt. Salt used to be very valuable and
soldiers would sell it for other things. The word
salary means salt money and the expression
worth your salt (= good at your job) comes
from this.

The Chinese made the first paper
money about 1,500 years ago. In some
parts of China they didnt have enough
metal for coins so they would print paper
money for the same value.
However, paper money didnt use to
be very common in Europe until about
1700.
