Example Question #11 : Labor Systems And Economic Systems 600 Ce To 1450
Which of these countries was the first to issue paper money?
Possible Answers:
China
Germany
Britain
The Netherlands
India
Correct answer:
China
Explanation:
Throughout the history of civilization, the value and supply of money had generally been tied to the supply of precious metals - typically gold and silver. The Chinese government switched to paper money during the ninth century. The switch to paper money allows governments more flexibility with currency manipulation and countries that operate with paper money are more resistant to fluctuations in the market.
