Did you know that the first metal coins are widely regarded as having been invented in China? The earliest known Chinese coins were made around nine hundreed BC, after being discovered in a tomb near Anyang. Coins derive their value from their status as fiat money. What this means is that the value of a coin-as-currency is not determined by the worth of its metal, but by what a particular state opr government decrees that coin to be worth.
