<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3564277, member: 112&quot;]I wondered about some of the ancient Asian coins but I know nothing about them other than that they existed. For example, I have no idea if they were actually intended for use in circulation or if they were mere coins of account. Nor do I have any idea of their value when it came to exchange rates. And yes, exchange rates existed even back then, in fact long before then, exchange rates have been around for as long as coins have. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps you know these things but I certainly do not. If ya do I&#039;d love to hear about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>An interesting tidbit to be mentioned in passing, I am aware that China had the world&#039;s first documented bank notes. In 118 B.C. they had 40,000 cash bank notes printed on white deerskin. But even they were money of account and never intended for use in actual circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
