Title: Paper Money
Post by: Goose on June 11, 2014, 03:54:42 PM

The world's first paper money was printed 1007 years ago this year in Chengdu, China. Now for a test question: What year was it?

Year 1007 ?  :) I think the first banknote issued Kao Tsung in China in 650 year.

That might be right Erik.....it was something I read in a bank note magazine. Possibly, the Kao Tsung note was some sort of a hand written promisory note that was used many times. Many, many snows ago, our milkman gave my mom someone else's personal check as change which was endorsed by 2 other people. I don't know if my mom passed it on or just deposited it.
