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.
