Currency is the system of money used in a particular country. South Korea’s currency is called the Korean won. The United States’ currency is the American dollar.
Ancient civilizations didn’t use bills and coins like we do today. They instead traded items like animal skins, beads, or cowry shells. Some believe the first official currency in the world was the Lydian stater, introduced by Lydia’s King Alyattes in the second half of the seventh century B.C.E.
