Very interesting article, thanks for the pointer.
The most fascinating item in there, for me, was that bronze cowrie shells were used as money, in the Shang dynasty in China, about 4,000 years ago. Amazing!
It was the first money printing operation in the history of mankind, as we could create more shell money with bronze faster than we could make real cowrie shells in some parts of the world
