We all need money to live. Without it we cannot buy the things we need. The first
people to live on the Earth did not use money. Instead, they bartered ─ giving something

they had for something they needed. This still happens in many places today. The first
things to be used as money were a type of sea-shell, called cowrie shells. They were used
by the Chinese from about 1200 BC. The Chinese then began to make small objects that

looked like cowrie shells. These were the first coins made out of metal and with a hole in
them so that the coins could be put together to make a chain. Over the years, money has

been made of different things ─ for example, silver, leather, and paper. The Chinese were
the first to use paper money from about 800 AD. But, would you believe that noses have
been used instead of money? Many hundreds of years ago, people from Denmark used to

cut the noses off people who did not pay their taxes.

Since many think that the more money they have the happier they will be, they will

make all the effort to earn money. Some even steal or commit crimes to become rich. Of
course, we know this is wrong. Many wealthy people have found that, in spite of having
all the possessions, they are not really happy. Some wealthy people live alone in gorgeous

mansions yet die lonely with no family or friends around them. They have spent their
lives trying to be rich, but in fact they are poor. It is a pity that they do not know the true
meaning of happiness, without getting and spending money.
