How did little metal disks became power, propaganda, and paychecks?


Could you buy a round of drinks with a coin in 500BC?


Well that depends! Some places maybe yes and some places maybe a goat would be better. In this episode, Bernie talks with Leo from Classical Numismatics about the early days of coinage—how it started in Lydia around 650 BC, spread to the Greek world, and why these early coins weren’t just money—they were power, propaganda, and prestige.
