You do enough digging and you find some really neat threads... Interesting how all your currency lines up... the fruit currency reminds me of the ancient Maya civilization that used cocoa beans as currency. I have one question: how is that all these different coinages have such easy trade-ratios with coins from other nations? especially in a medieval/ancient economy? |
