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.
Hope this helped!
