Jiaozi
Jiaozi (Chinese: 交子; pinyin: jiāozǐ) was a form of banknote which appeared around 10th century in the Sichuan capital of Chengdu, China. Most numismatists regard it as the first paper money in history, a development of the Chinese Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 CE).
To combat counterfeiting, jiaozi were stamped with multiple Banknote seals.
