Best Answer

Coins were created to make it possible to get things without trading for them. Before people had money, they would trade, for example a basket of beans for a goat, but you don't always want to carry around beans or goats, so people invented money.

How many Roman coins are there?

The basic Roman coins that were used throughout the empire were the As, Dupondius, Denarius, Sestertius and Aureus.

Other coins were discontinued such as the very small quadrans which was discontinued by Marcus Aurelius.
