    I don't think there were indigenous Peruvian (Inca) coins before the Spanish arrived.

    Agree, I think that 1500's is about as old as they can be.

    inca had like a socialism society. There was no market or trading. Food and other living necessities were earned with work but distribution did not involve money.

    They didn't really trade with contemporary societies around them either. They just colonized the place when they needed something from aboard.

    Mayans traded, but pretty much like how native americans did with europeans, direct exchanges without using currency.
