The first modern gold Swedish coin minted in early 1500’s, square coins, triangle coins, super thick coins, paper thin coins, coins in a strip uncut, gold ingots, block coins which really are not coins. No one knows when and why the first coin was made, but obviously it became a popular display of wealth. I think the idea that gold and silver could be more precious than other metals was exploited by a very smart person, giving rise to this whole mess we today know as the economy.
