I just saw a photo of old coins from like 1 or 2000 years ago and they are all round.
Why is it that they all use coins and not squares or something else completely?
In: Other
A round shape is easy to make, replicate, and deal with. Something others here haven’t gotten into is the divicibility. A big thing with currency is the ability to divide it. Having a round shaped coin makes it very easy.
Half a coin cut it in two,
A quarter cut the half coin in two
A piece of eight cut the quarter in half
Using square coin would make this process more complicated, and make it easier for people to scam you.
