When were roman coins invented?
When the Roman Empire was in power several thousand years ago. Which would have been in the BC times.Answer: The Romans did not invent coins.The Romans probably knew of coins from previous users. Although the legendary founding of Rome was in 763 BCE there is no proof of Romans "inventing" coins. The first examples of minted coins in the world are found as early as 610-600 BCE by King Alyattes in Sardis, Lydia, Asia Minor (present-day Turkey). The concept could then have spread to Rome sometime after their use in Sardis. The exact date of this was not known but the first, relatively shapeless, Roman coins were issued around 330 BCE (some 300 years later) and were called the "Aes".
Who first used coins as money?
The first nation recorded and found to have used coins is the Lydians. Their coins can still be bought ($1000- $2000 each) and although scare, they are not rare. They tend to have a lion imprinted on their gold surfaces. But even before coins, shells, salt and even whole coconuts were acceptable because they were easily found in nature and one didn't have to work extremely hard to mold and make them.

The Sixpence is no longer legal tender in any of those countries and the currencies they belonged to are long since redundant or obsolete.
