China began to use paper money during the Tang dynasty because of its lightness and other aspects. People could now carry money without the anxiety of a robber stealing it because they would have no need for money outside of china. also, paper money could be carried i larger loads because it didnt weigh as much as coins or gold did. finally, paper money allowed the government to enforce greater regulation due to being the only manufacturer of the product.
