Evidentally not! Plenty of ancient coins have survived from Greece, the Roman Empire, etc, but nothing from Egypt.l Paper money was too far ahead of the time, anyhow ( The Chinese, who perfected papermaking, came out with some in the l2Th Century AD) Evidentally they had what amounted to a moneyless economy! Of course the slaves did not need or use money, and the nobles had everything on the House ( or pyramid). It does pose the problem of a moneyless society that was nonetheless advanced with a Capital A,. No
