The arrival of June each year signals some frenetic tidying up of accounts, which makes us think of money.
What was the earliest money made from, and what are coins made from currently?
Early coins (not metal ornaments) were used in trade nearly 3000 years ago
Ancient Greece and Anatolia, China, India, and possibly Ancient Persia, all began using coins as exchange during a period about 700 BC
Greek coins were made of electrum, a naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold
