Indians Invented Coins

As always, world historians were doubtful, which nation to attribute the first usage of coins to..when the truth is that it is by Indians again...
 
Out of the iron Age Anatolia, Archaic Greece, India and China finally they settled with Lydian staters (Ephesus, Lydia, the present-day Turkey) having evidence of its usage in 600 BC. Recent excavations in India, at the lost city of Dwaraka proved the wide spread usage of coins even at 3000 BC, at least 150 generations before the rest of the world started their dreams based on economics.
 
The whole world knew ancient India was one of the earliest issuers of coins in the world. The history of the usage of coins in Ancient India was accepted by ‘classic his –storians’ to be circa 6th century BC.
 
Even though coins came to be used on a considerable scale, the process of manufacture was no where recorded till the period of ‘Arthashastra’, referring to the counterfeiters of coins (kuta-rupakaraka) and the actual process of minting it. Arthashastra , written by the great Chanakya is the first authentic text book mentioning the process of coin minting. It deals with its fabric, weight, quality metal, symbology and legitimacy.
In India, the first documented coinage is deemed to start with 'Punch Marked' coins issued between the 7th-6th century BC .These coins are called 'punch-marked' coins because of their manufacturing technique. They were mostly made of silver, these bear symbols, each of which was punched on the coin with a separate punch.
The present discovery of punched mark 'Mudras'(Coins) of stone, found in lost city of Dwaraka is proven by carbon dating tohave existed at least 5000 years ago.
 
INDIA WILL HAVE TO DEPEND UPON THE ARCHEOLOGISTS AND THEIR EXCAVATIONS TO UNDERSTAND OUR ANCESTORS… MOST OF ALL TO UNDERSTAND THE WESTERN CLASSIC WORKS TO INUNDATE OUR GLORIOUS PAST FOR THEIR SURVIVAL..
 
EVERY INDIAN PATRIOT! SIT AND PRAY TO ARCHEOLOGISTS TO SAVE US FROM OUR HISTORIANS…
PROUD TO BE BORN IN INDIA
