While there are plenty of similarities between modern and ancient currencies (even though they are spread across hundreds and hundreds of years and civilisations) there are a lot of differences as well.
Today we are used to working within a very rigid framework when it comes to money. We know exactly what notes and coins are in use within each country and everything is very closely monitored and evaluated on a daily basis.
While ancient currencies had their own value, they were not always in widespread use as they are today. Whereas the Euro now spreads across more than a dozen countries, in ancient times you would have had lots of currencies across that same expanse of land – sometimes more than one currency in a particular country.
But the differences do not just occur on a national or even global scale. They also occur right down to the actual coins themselves. If you were to lay a modern day coin next to an ancient one you would see plenty of differences which largely point to the leaps and bounds that minting has taken over the centuries.
While old coins tended to be circular they were far from being perfect in their design. Today we have computers and tools to show us what a perfect circle should look like, and to that end we are far in advance of our ancestors, who had to do the best job they could. While each coin would have the same design stamped on it, the quality of the design would depend on who had stamped it and how good a job they had managed to do.
