I am a coin. I am the most sought after thing in the world. All the people rich or poor want to earn me. I am the symbol of prosperity and wealth. Many people keep me in their purse or pocket, to bring them luck.
I was built in metals like iron, bronze, silver etc. Even 5 centuries before the Christian Era. I was so precious at that time. One piece could buy one house or a piece of land.
There are pictures of animals, kings, famous personalities, crowns, queens and national symbols printed on me one one side, in the center. Around that the name of the country and the year are printed. One the other side the face value of mine is printed in big letters. Some of the ancient coins were printed in square or rectangular shape too.
Bigger my value is, the bigger my size is. Obviously thicker and heavier I am too. Usually the actual value of the metal in me is same as the value printed on the coin. But sometimes the value printed on me is more than my actual value. When I am a rare coin or if I am printed on a special occasion, I become a coin collector's precious item. When I am very ancient, I am treated specially and am kept in museums for visitors to see and enjoy.
The historians and scientists learn a lot from me. They know the technical expertise, availability of metals, manufacturing technologies, language and culture etc. So I am really useful to everyone, either for study or for buying commodities.
