Best Answer

China was a more advanced civilization early on, and had the tools to wield bronze, invent rockets, and of course, print paper money.
Paper currency was first produced by the Chinese. It was created as a way to reduce the costs associated with creating metal coin currency and was also lighter to carry.

Because it's cheap to make.

More specifically:Paper money was invented by the Chinese to simplify trade. For large payments coins or raw precious metals would be inconvenient and heavy. Paper money could be transported much more easily and could be converted back into coins or metal by either party to the transaction.
