Early Money of Ancient Times
During ancient times, coined money wasn't a reality due to the bronze age just on the uprise. In ancient times, the most common form of money would be shells or other means of what was available in the area. In western Europe, the development of bronze led to a new era of money such as the ringed money above, or even specialty money such as the dolphin style money from the baltic region.
