While looking for a coin to post a pic of in a different message group, I rediscovered my old Knife Money piece.
So I thought I might as well let you enjoy it a bit, if anyone is interested.
These really old coins or things that work like coins always fascinate me.
This is from China about 1122 to 255 BC or so.

It is not like a coin. It is a coin.

Ah, yes, the good old days when coins needn't be round but could be many other shapes besides!
