*Populism*

yeah, world's first paper currency appeared in Song dynasty (960-1279)

Yet by 1900 the Mexican (silver) peso accounted for nearly 30% of our total currency in circulation. You would have never thought I am serious but that's that.

Qingyang Zhang huh interesting

The Chinese created paper money even earlier, in the 7th century in Tang dynasty. But they didn't come to official use until 13th century.

Gold was and still is considered pretty valuable on it's own.

They did have coins, but those were coins mostly from the northern parts of Africa. Mamluk dinars for example.

They omitted a lot of coins pretty much every medieval nation had its coin. Only east european coin they included was Kievan one for example.

They used salt and maybe shells and Gold dust as currency

Dude the malis were under the rule of the caliphate, they used golden dinars

Conspiracy theory bs

Literally just 2 or four characters with some simplex patterns...

But Indian coins have also patterns with some Sanskrit slokes and some mythological characters like Gods of Hindus and Buddhism.

It's dawn not down

@@borhanuddintv same goes to china

@@NabaTeron1479 China was consistently one state with periods of chaos. India has the Maurya, the Guptas and Delhi Sultanate don't count since that is only mostly Northern India, then the Mughals (which is not really even Indian really). Marathas is too short-lived and didn't reunify India. So in reality, India only had 2 major empires, the Maurya and Mughals. China has the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Ming as unified and intact dynasties. I did not count Yuan and Qing dynasties because those are Mongolian and Manchu dynasty, but China is also unified under these 2 dynasties. In comparison, India was really disorganized ever since the fall of the Mauryas around 180BC, and didn't really become almost unified again until the 1500-1600s under the Mughals. This is why Professor X is correct, for majority of Indian history it was not an unified state.

@@Mystic-Dust except Qing, no empire there have the areas of tibet, xinziyang and manchuria

@@NabaTeron1479 That's where you're wrong. The Han and Tang dynasties occupied Xinjiang roughly 2,000 years and 1,300 years ago. The Han and Ming also controlled large parts of Manchuria too. While it's true that Qing held all these territories, it should be noted the Qing dynasty expanded China to its maximum extent, just because China did not have all these extra territories in the past does not mean China is not unified. Most of the time, the dynasties are listed are around the same size in approximately the same territory ever since the Qin/Han dynasties. The Shang and Zhou gradually expanded China as well as 2 of China's earliest unified dynasty. For comparison, no other empire in India matched the Maurya until the Mughals came, which is why I said Guptas and Delhi Sultanate doesn't really count since their territories are mostly in Northern India.

Yes, from Macedonian coinage originally.

HistoricalMinds that seem too hard almost impossible to do.

@@siegfriedia9986 You are describing basically every nation that has ever existed at some time of their history. No country is perfect but for me its still sad to see the last remnants of the roman empire fade away into nonexistence

@@siegfriedia9986 Empires don't liberate people.

eingew well to be honest, the people of the levant and Egypt celebrated and rejoiced when the muslims conquered these areas and ousted the opressive romans. they even helped the muslim army in logistical issues, despite being christians like the romans. so it's fair to call it liberation in this case

@@bai105 на карте то не тенге, а именно деньга.

I think bк Ai says that the denga was used by the Golden Horde as a currency.

Actually, rubles came later. The broad name for minted money was denga. Anyway they circulated at the same time. На самом деле, сначала слово "деньги" использовалось как валюта. Только потом его стали использовать в обобщённом смысле. "Деньга" появилась раньше, рубль несколько позже и только постепенно её заменил. ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C%D0%B3%D0%B0

وحيد كالقمر He’s saying gold dinar or dirham. Not gold dinar or gold dirham

Also dirham = drachm (through Sassanid coinage), which has always been silver. And the gold Dinar ultimately comes from an indian money inspired from the Roman (silver) denarius.

Turks

@@RPM1776 I think maybe Turks were behind that?? I checked that and I found it believable bcz during this time Abu Jafar Al-Mansur was the Caliph of Abbasid Dynasty. He was 2th Caliph of Dynasty and Islam has spreaded widely among Turks after the battle Battle Of Talas which happened in 751AD between Abbasid(Arabs) with Turks against Chinese and that's why Turks ended up with Islam and according to encyclopedia of Ukraine it stated that "In the early 6th century the Antes(east Slavic tribes) established relations with the Byzantine Empire, against which they also waged war in the Balkans. Their state lasted until the 7th century, when it was destroyed by the Avars (A large union of Turkic tribes) and most of the Antes fled north to resettle in the upper Dnipro Basin" so, I thing i got my answer with your help thanks for all of you and Shukran as we Arab says :) my sources: 1) www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/isru/hd_isru.htm 2) www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CH%5CI%5CHistoryofUkraine.htm 3)www.thoughtco.com/the-battle-of-talas-195186

Google translate. Trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks. This led to the appearance of a large number of Arab coins that were silver.

@@Max_Skald thanks !

because you won't call a gold bar as "coin" Precious metals are stored in very different shapes through out history: sticks, bars, plates, balls, or even boat-shaped(see "sycee") But if you want to carry your treasury on you, then it must be flat so you can hold it in pocket; and it must not be sharp (imagine a gold star - it's a pain to keep in pocket) so round shape is perfect.

Don't know about others but In India there were other shape coins too, it shown for simplicity

"Was"
