Paper money was introduced to other parts of the world through trade and travel. Arab traders were among the first to adopt paper money, and they introduced it to the Middle East and North Africa. Paper money was also introduced to Europe by Marco Polo in the 13th century, but it did not become widely used until the 17th century.
