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, you’d 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 didn’t have enough metal for coins so they would print paper money for the same value.

However, paper money didn’t use to be very common in Europe until about 1700.
