Question

The earliest Chinese coins were made from____?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Chinese may have invented the first metal coins, coins found in Anyang date to before 900 BC. At that time, the coin itself was a mock of more earlier used cowry shells, so it was called the Bronze shell. Bronzed shells were found in the ruins of Yin, the old capital of the Shang dynasty (1500–1046 BC).
