Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about
the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In
the 16 th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.
Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man
in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed
them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead,
he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.
The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers,
made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon
with it？ The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and
Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air
passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how
they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the
animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above
Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled
about.

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use
money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want.
When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal pr paper. But people used to use all kinds
of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only
things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice
was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals
were used as money too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in
the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different
countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in
England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later,
other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive.
Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money.
The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper
money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
