History of Europe

What country invented the first money in whole world?

Lydia, an ancient kingdom in western Anatolia (present-day Turkey), is widely recognized as the birthplace of coinage, introducing the world's first coins around 650 to 600 BCE. These early coins were made of electrum, a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver. By introducing a consistent means of exchange backed by the authority of the issuing kingdom, Lydia revolutionized commerce and paved the way for the widespread adoption of coinage across ancient civilizations.
