Mr Bun.. Paper was only used when it was invented by the Chinese only after they use the shells as their currency..I think that the immediate predecessor to modern paper is believed to have originated in China in approximately the 2nd century CE, although there is some evidence for it being used before this date, while shells was used during the Neolithic Age, which has said to be started in 9500 BCE... that's all.. hope you'll understand..
