The first people to do it were the Chinese, who printed the earliest banknotes over 1,000 years ago.

The most famous Chinese issuer of paper money was Kublai Khan, the Mongol who ruled the Chinese empire in the 13th century. Kublai Khan decreed that his paper money must be accepted by traders on pain of death. As further encouragement, he confiscated all gold and silver, even if it was brought in by foreign traders. Marco Polo was impressed by the efficiency of the Chinese system. Yet for all the threats, paper money did not succeed everywhere. In Persia, its forcible introduction in 1294 led to a total collapse of trade. By the 15th century even China had more or less given up paper money.

Nope and nope on the record or estimated amount. Considering US support, it's likely that politicians are genuinely pro-Israel. True, AIPAC is a strong lobby, but illegal isn't the modus operandi.

I thought it was made in China, or one of those Southeast Asian countries.
