who introduced the cacao beans to the Aztecs
The Aztecs didn't trade with other cultures because they always were in war with the other tribes, but their coin was the cacao beans. That was their most valuable resource inside their Empire.
Aztecs used cocoa beans as money regularly
The Aztecs primarily used cacao beans and gold dust as currency, with cacao beans being the most common medium of exchange for everyday transactions. They also utilized a system of trade involving cotton textiles and other goods. Additionally, the Aztecs had a form of currency made from small metal objects called "teocalli," which were not as commonly used. Overall, their economy was based on a combination of barter and these various forms of currency.

The Aztecs used cacao beans (which they had to trade with the Mayans to get because the cacao tree could not grow in the area in which they lived). The Aztecs also used "hoe" money that was made from copper. It had a fixed weight and was in the shape of an axe head or a knife-like shape. The Spaniards called it tajaderos. Each piece of hoe money was worth 8,000 cacao seeds.
Hawaii is the only state that has cacao beans because the land where they grew in Florida was too valuable to use for cacao beans. Other crops were more profitable and the land could be put to better use.
Maize (corn), tomatoes, chillies, chocolate (cacao beans), sweet potato and avocado, are some of the foods introduced to Europeans by the Aztecs.
