Maybe the most common money of all was an animal of some kind. In some places today, cows are still used as a kind of money. So you see, things highly valued by everybody may serve as money. The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money. Oh, sorry, you don' t know the word? Well, it is spelled C-O-I-N. Here are some coins of the past. You can come over and have a look.
