<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 251, member: 68&quot;]Some of the latest thinking on the subject is that coins were an outgrowth of tokens.&nbsp; According to this theory the ancients would use small tokens to keep track of their farm animals.&nbsp; One token=one cow.&nbsp; As time went on and herds grew they would use a different token to represent five cows and another for 10 geese.&nbsp; Soon they began thinking of these as the property itself and the idea of money was born.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
