Did the Chinese Invent Bank Notes.

Sir John Lubbock, in the N5leteentA
Century, credits the Chinese with the
invention of bank notes, 1t is related
that about 119 B. c., the court being
in want of money, the Halifax of the
day hit upon the following device;
When any prince or courtier entered
the imperial presence 1t was customary
to cover the face with piece of skin.
Itwas first decreed that for this purpose
the skin of a certain white deer, kept in
one of the royal parks, should alone be
employed, and then these skins, which
appear to have passed from one noble
to another, were sold for a high price.
True bank notes are believed to have
come into vogue in China about 800 A.
D., and were calle1 feyt sieH, or flying
money. .... ........
