[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2739247, member: 76194"]Allegedly the oldest coin, because China and India started minting coinage at roughly the same time period. No one can say for sure who struck the first coin, though my money would be on the Chinese as they had a history of making coin-like charms for thousands of years already prior to 700 BCE. Even the article doesn't say this is the oldest coin, but one of the oldest. [B]A very subtle but important distinction.[/B][/QUOTE]
