paper bill

Written payment request

Paper bill refers to physical currency—banknotes issued by a government: I only had a few paper bills in my wallet.

The term distinguishes cash from coins, checks, or digital payment.

Paper bill also means a printed statement of charges sent by mail rather than electronically: They still send me a paper bill every month.
