Скачать или смотреть The First Money: A Calm History of Ancient Wealth | QuietFacts

Long before credit cards and paper bills, people traded with shells, stones, beads, and finally, the first coins of metal. Money began not as wealth, but as a promise — a way to measure trust, to exchange food, tools, and safety. Over time, these simple tokens became symbols of power and ambition, carved into stone, minted in gold, and passed from hand to hand across the ancient world.

In this slow episode of QuietFacts, we’ll drift through the gentle history of money — from the earliest barter and tokens, to the first great coins, and the calm golden glow that still lingers in how we think about wealth today. Perfect for relaxing at night, or letting your thoughts wander as you fall asleep.
