Money has a long history in various societies. Some track it back as far as about 5 000 years ago when the Mesopotamian people created the shekel, which is considered the first known form of currency. Gold and silver coins are known to date back to around 650 to 600 BC when stamped coins were used to pay soldiers. Some evidence suggests that metal coins may be as old as 1250 BC.
