<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 1634622, member: 6370&quot;]Not when it comes to resistance to corrossion but to be honest, many different metals have been used as money Iron, Zinc, Nickel, Steel, Brass, etc...and other material such as Leather and cloth. if anything I would say if you are simply going on the 4 characteristics, nickel is probably the best bet but as you say, nickel was not really viable 5000 years ago so they went with the softer Gold and Silver....so people dont hoard nickel (as much, I assume there is someone out there hoarding it).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an iron coin</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/stadtduren.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a zinc coin</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/zwiesel.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an aluminum coin</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/unna.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a bill made from cloth</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/bielefeldclothobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/bielefeldclothrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
