Money comes naturally through trade. Natural money must have value outside of it's monetary use. IE commodities have value when not used as exchange. Silver has thousands of industrial uses therefor has it's own value. Which is why it was used as a money. Because there was no question of it's inherent value. Paper however can be manipulated with ease because there is no standard weight and measure for the value 1 unit.
