154. BERNIE AND DAN TOGETHER IN SWEDEN! 600's BC - Kids These Days with Their Fancy Coins

Bernie, Dan, and Enkidu are in the same room in Stockholm and introduce the world's first coins.

If you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistory

We talk about the world's first coins and what is money, Enkidu's Mesopotamian tattoos, the exchange rate of sheep to wine, and of course Bernie finds a way to bring up Gyges!

A new world is dawning with the invention of coinage as we cross the threshold into the 6th Century BC.

I would like to personally thank all the listeners for making my trip to Sweden possible, and enriching my life so much by subscribing and listening to this podcast. Really....

THANK YOU SO MUCH

TACK SA MYCKET
