Yet by 1900 the Mexican (silver) peso accounted for nearly 30% of our total currency in circulation. You would have never thought I am serious but that's that.
Interesting to see that China was the first country introducing paper currency. And now, it’s kinda of the first non-cash nation again... Is digital currency the future?
In India before coins were cast common currency for nominal everyday shopping was ‘kavdi’ (the word cowrie has roots in this word). Even today Indians talk about “phuti kaudi”.Coins were only for higher value denominations.
It would be even more interesting if you had shown China in the earliest times starting with bronze shells (since they are made of bronze instead of being natural shells, it technically counts as money), and then there were bronze spade money and bronze knife money. Finally they got replaced and united by the round coin with a square hole.
Its kind of sad how most of the time , when someone mentions about indian innovations, its met with such great speculation on the internet that often times , its possibility is downright rejected by people

@@NabaTeron1479 China was consistently one state with periods of chaos. India has the Maurya, the Guptas and Delhi Sultanate don't count since that is only mostly Northern India, then the Mughals (which is not really even Indian really). Marathas is too short-lived and didn't reunify India. So in reality, India only had 2 major empires, the Maurya and Mughals. China has the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Ming as unified and intact dynasties. I did not count Yuan and Qing dynasties because those are Mongolian and Manchu dynasty, but China is also unified under these 2 dynasties. In comparison, India was really disorganized ever since the fall of the Mauryas around 180BC, and didn't really become almost unified again until the 1500-1600s under the Mughals. This is why Professor X is correct, for majority of Indian history it was not an unified state.
@@NabaTeron1479 That's where you're wrong. The Han and Tang dynasties occupied Xinjiang roughly 2,000 years and 1,300 years ago. The Han and Ming also controlled large parts of Manchuria too. While it's true that Qing held all these territories, it should be noted the Qing dynasty expanded China to its maximum extent, just because China did not have all these extra territories in the past does not mean China is not unified. Most of the time, the dynasties are listed are around the same size in approximately the same territory ever since the Qin/Han dynasties. The Shang and Zhou gradually expanded China as well as 2 of China's earliest unified dynasty. For comparison, no other empire in India matched the Maurya until the Mughals came, which is why I said Guptas and Delhi Sultanate doesn't really count since their territories are mostly in Northern India.

because you won't call a gold bar as "coin" Precious metals are stored in very different shapes through out history: sticks, bars, plates, balls, or even boat-shaped(see "sycee") But if you want to carry your treasury on you, then it must be flat so you can hold it in pocket; and it must not be sharp (imagine a gold star - it's a pain to keep in pocket) so round shape is perfect.

Did West Africa really not have coinage by 1500 AD? That seems unlikely considering Mali's gold exporting empire. Otherwise I love this.
Gold was and still is considered pretty valuable on it's own.
They did have coins, but those were coins mostly from the northern parts of Africa. Mamluk dinars for example.
They omitted a lot of coins pretty much every medieval nation had its coin. Only east european coin they included was Kievan one for example.
They used salt and maybe shells and Gold dust as currency
