The first usage of money in The Bible is when Abraham buys a burial plot for Sarah from the Hittites for 400 shekels of silver (Genesis 23). The second usage is when Joseph is sold by his brothers to the Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver (Genesis 37:28). How much do you think these amounts would be worth in modern currency?

Is money more valuable than Jesus since there is more paper money passed around daily than pages of the bible where the story of Jesus can be found but nothing actually written by him just by others?

The Bible, Jesus, and paper money are not related. Even in the daily life of Jesus money was used ( he threw the money changers out of the temple) and I don't see where you get the relationship between the Bible and money. Are we to use the pages of the Bible as money? True Jesus didn't write the Bible and the Bible we know today is not close to the first pages written in Greek, but you either accept these things as truth or not. That is up to you and the value you place on it is also your decision. I really think you are confused and need to rethink the question above.
