<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 3510858, member: 51347&quot;]I buy into that! Amber always reminded me as being “Sun-Drops”. Many of the Amber pieces I possess have bugs and other bits encased within. They are exotic enough to be valuable, tradable, and just plain wanted!&nbsp; I could definitely see them being a store of value that would be traded. Proto-currency? Maybe, but I do not see the denomination and portability of trade value that is coinage. If it were basic trade, and you wanted a beaver to eat and its pelt for clothing, trading for a sack of grain, then an Amber piece might have been only a trinket to sweeten the trade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can’t eat or drink Amber...&nbsp; but; thought: it does look a little like solidified BEER! Hmmm... Amber from Northern Europe - Germanic Tribes - Beer... cool thought...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
