Did kushites make coins?

The Kushites did not produce their own coins in the way that many other ancient civilizations did. Instead, they primarily used a barter system and traded using weights of precious metals. However, they did adopt and adapt the coinage of neighboring cultures, such as the Greeks and Egyptians, particularly during the later periods of their civilization. This adoption reflects their interactions and the influence of external trade.
