Here's a cleaner (incomplete) #timeline of the #history of #money

Very summarised, so much could be written about each period... but to keep it simple and visual.

And now we have bitcoin as money 👏🏽

Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck!!!! It was a Drachma!!!! My neighbor had that coin!!!!

To be more precise the athenian owl was a tetradrachma. I had to summarize a lot...

I have personally seen and held a drachma and was today years old when I found out what it was.

I want to know more about the reason we went from animals to people on coins

I think it was Alexander the Great who did it first...

Before it was animals, symbols and sometimes patron gods or heroes (Herakles was quite common).

This close up is pretty sick.

Should’ve held my Lydian tsk tsk
