Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
While the concept of money has existed for millennia, paper money has a shorter and more defined history. Its origins can be traced back to 7th century China during the Tang dynasty. Initially used as a form of promissory note by merchants, it wasn't until later that the government officially adopted and circulated paper money.
This early form of paper money, known as "jiaozi", helped facilitate trade and address the logistical challenges of using heavy copper coins for large transactions. However, over-printing and economic instability led to periods of inflation and distrust in paper money. Despite these setbacks, the use of paper currency spread gradually throughout Asia, influencing the development of similar systems in other regions.
European explorers and traders encountered paper money in Asia, bringing the concept back to the West. However, it wasn't until the 17th century, with the establishment of banks in Europe, that paper money began to gain traction. These early banknotes were essentially receipts for deposits of gold or silver, redeemable on demand.
Over time, governments took control of banknote issuance, eventually moving away from the gold standard and establishing fiat currency - paper money backed by the government's promise rather than a physical commodity. This shift marked a significant evolution in the history of paper money, shaping the modern financial systems we use today.
