Repeat this to form a third bill beneath the first two - extend two short lines, then connect them using longer straight lines.

Learn More About The Stack of Money Drawing
What makes paper money so valuable? At one time, items were used as money because of their actual value. For example, a coin was made of gold, and its worth was dependent on the weight of the gold.
Later, banks developed in which you could place your valuables for safekeeping. In return, you would receive a receipt that could be redeemed for valuable commodities.
This was called "representative money." The paper money represented, for example, real gold or silver that was held in the bank. People would often trade these notes for other items.
The first paper money of this kind developed in China during the eleventh century. Similar banknotes came to be used in Europe by the 1600s, and paper money that was redeemable for fixed amounts of gold became the standard in most countries by 1900.

Today, though, most paper money is not backed by gold in the bank. Instead, it is called "fiat money" - it has value because the issuing government says it does, and users agree on the value. The value of money today is simply that you can exchange it for desired goods.
Money is also used as a symbol in art and popular culture. Its green color is often associated with greed. It is also a symbol of success; stacks of money may be used to represent wealth that often comes with the careers of doctors, lawyers, sports stars, and musicians.
