当我们提起钱的时候，我们首先想到的是硬币盒纸币。这就是我们当今货币的形式。但是在过去，人们经常使用许多东西代替钱币。一些国家使用母牛来交易。还有国家使用盐，烟草，茶叶或者石头作为交易中介。今天在世界上仍然有很多地区不使用纸币交易。其中一个地方就是太平洋上上的Yap岛。
在Yap岛上，当今人们使用着重量最为沉重的货币—Yap石。它们是圆的，白色的中间有空洞的石头。Yap石不是起源于这个岛。Yap上的门人不得不去距离岛屿400里外的地方获得。大的石头能有12尺高，相当于两人高。小的石头相当于餐桌上的盘子大小。
富裕的人们从不带着这些石头.仆人一般跟随者他们。每个仆人都会在他们肩膀上拖着一袋子石头。今天在岛上的人们会使用纸币用来日常购物，但是对于一些其他的交易，他们仍然喜欢用石头

累死我啦哈哈^_^
