I would like to know if the paper money we used as currency is considered to be riba?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I hear from certain group saying that the paper money is riba but we are not in sin because we are forced to use it. Is it true? If true how do we avoid it? We could not used dirhams or dinars anymore and have no alternative.
