Read:
To facilitate handling. The first merchants, who traveled carrying bags of gold and silver, found it difficult to shop with metal bars. To make everything easier, coins were created. There are two versions of the place and date of appearance: some surveys indicate China, around 1100 BC; others say it was in Lydia (in present-day Turkey), in the 7th century BC. And did you know that in China, about a thousand years ago, there were coins with different shapes? A fish-shaped coin, for example, was exchanged for food.
