The first country to use coins is believed to be Lydia, an ancient kingdom located in what is now western Turkey. Around 600 BCE, the Lydians minted the first known coins made from electrum, a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver. These coins facilitated trade by providing a standardized medium of exchange, which greatly influenced economic practices in the region and beyond.
