One of the first kinds of money was shells. In China, cloth and knives were used as money. Elephant tusks（牙）, monkey tail and salt were used in some parts of the world. Rice was also a kind of money used by the people in some islands. Some animals were used as money, too. The first copper coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center.
