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