The Fabulous History of Money— A Revolutionary Idea
Overview
Invented 2700 years ago, closely linked to the destiny of empires and wars, money has changed the course of civilizations. From ancient Greece to contemporary America via ancient China and the French Revolution up to today's dematerialization of money initiated by Bitcoin, this documentary series deciphers the place it has played for millennia.
1. A Revolutionary Idea
Why was the first Western coinage invented in Asia Minor in the 7th century BC? Not for trade reasons, but for the construction of new warships. The mass minting of silver coins later became the basis of Athenian naval power. But when Sparta blocked Athens' access to its silver mines, the tide turned.
