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
