1t Is Credited to the Lydians OF Asia
Minor.
1t is difficult to realize that prior to
b. C. 700 there were no true coins, that
ingots or buttons of gold and silver
were weighed at every mercantile
transaction. The Lydians of Asia Mi
nor are credited with having been the
first to east and stamp with an official
device small oval gold ingots of def
mite fixed weight, an invention strange
" delayed. but of inestimable impor-
lance to industry and commerce. y
coin has been described as "a piece of
metal of fixed weight, stamped by au-
thority of government and employed
as a medium of exchange" Medals,
though struck by authority, are only
historical records and have no currency
value.
The bright, far flashing intellect Of
Greece saw the import of the Lydian
invention and adopted it quickly, and
every Greek state. nearly every city.
island and colony, established a mint.
generally at some one Of the great tenn
pies, for all early coin types are rel-
gious in character They bear symbols
of some god as a pledge of good faith.
The offerings. tithes and rents Of the
worshipers were coined and circulated
as money. Temples thus became both
minis and banks. Our word money
is said to have been derived from the
Roman shrine of Juno. Moneta, the
earliest Latin mint.
The first shape of these early coins
was that of an enlarged coffee berry,
punched on the rounded side with Off
cial letters or sinNngs, as they are
called
