1 thought on “The disadvantage of choosing shell coins?”

  1. Best coin is the earliest currency in my country. About four or five thousand years ago, due to the low productivity and the material is extremely abundant, there are not many remaining products of a tribe or a family that can be used for exchange. Things, this expression is just a simple or accidental currency form. At that time, there was no currency or currency at all.
    With the development of productive forces and the progress of society, labor products have gradually gained surplus. Simply to exchanged things in the way of social life, people use shells as intermediaries for exchanges. In the late Neolithic period, the shell of the primitive society is the most precious material. Shellfish is a shells growing in tropical subtropical seas. It is small and exquisite, colorful, exquisite in shape, strong and durable. It is the earliest decoration that primitive residents. Due to the moderate size, it is easy to carry and count, and later gradually acted as The general equivalent of commodity exchange.
    The metering unit of the shell coin is "Peng". It is generally considered to be "one friend" of two bunches of five or two strings, which may be the beginning of the decimal metering unit in my country.
    The original shell currency was born in the Shang Dynasty 3000 years ago. It is the ancestor of the coin. It is a shell currency processed from natural sea shells. From 19th to 16th centuries, it is about 3500 years ago. The processed natural shell currency body has trough, like female genitals, which is the characteristic of the matriarchal clan. Best coins are mainly produced in the waters of the East my country Sea, South China Sea and other places, reflecting the situation of commercial exchanges in the Shang Dynasty.
    The value of shell coins before the middle period of the business of the Shang Dynasty. If you can get the king of the king of the king, it will be a great glory. From the middle and late period of the Shang Dynasty to the week, with the continuous expansion of commodity production and commodity exchange, many factors such as increased population, agricultural progress, handicraft industry developed, and frequent business exchanges, promoting the increase in demand for goods, and natural shell coins gradually appeared. In short supply, many imitation shellfish coins appeared at the time, including stone shells, bone shells, mussels, green shells, etc. This type of shellite coin was small, with a length of about 1.2 cm to 2.4 cm. In the late Shang Dynasty, copper currency appeared, and the shape was also imitated in the form of sea and shellfish. The more precious Tongbei was unearthed in the late tombs of Shangdi tombs in Anyang and Shanxi Paode in Henan. It was about 14th to the 11th centuries BC. Tongbei was the earliest metal currency in my country. Among them, there was a kind of surface bread. Gold's copper coins are used as large currencies, and there are very few existing worlds.
