In one of Shakespeare's plays, the Merchant of Venice, the currency seemed to be ducats, and with a little research I have found that these were gold coins which were in circulation generally in Europe before the 1st World War - gold as an international currency - most of our money now is just a promise to pay, in many cases little more than an empty promise! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducat Also look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_sterling where you will find out that the Pound Sterling is one of the oldest currencies in the world. The first sterling banknotes were introduced in 1694, so before that there would have been gold coins such as the ducat, or the sovereign which was worth one pound.
