A coin is a piece of hard material that is standardized in weight, it is produced in large quantities in order to facilitate trade, and primarily and above all has the mark of the authority that produces it.
Coins are usually
metal or a metallic material and sometimes made of synthetic materials, usually in the shape of a
disc, and most often issued by a government. Coins are used as a form of
money in transactions of various kinds, from the everyday circulation coins to the storage of large numbers of bullion coins. In the present day, coins and
banknotes make up the cash forms of all modern money systems.

Most coins presently are made of a
base metal, and their value comes from their status as
fiat money. This means that the value of the coin is decreed by government fiat (law), and thus is determined by the
free market only as national currencies are subjected to
arbitrage in international trade.

Many people confuse his statement, as if it refers to coinage in electrum (a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver).
Coins are considered by some numismatists to have originated ca. 550-600 BC in
Anatolia, which corresponds to modern-day Turkey, in particular in
Lydia.
[4][5] Opponents of the Lydia scenario point to the indisputable fact that coins of that era have been totally absent from archeological finds in
Sardis, capital of Lydia
[6]. A coin, by definition, is an object used to facilitate commerce and exchanges. The proponents of the Lydian coins scenario admit the fact that they were likely not used in commerce or industry. Electrum coins were not standardized in weight and are considered by opponents as badges, medals or ceremonial objects issued by priests
[7], rather than coins (actually the oldest of them have been discovered not in Lydia, but in the temple of
Ephesos).
The oldest coins are considered by other numismatists to be the
Aegina Chelone coins which were minted ca.
700-550 BC, either by the local Aegina people or by
Pheidon king of
Argos (who first set the standards of weights and measures). In the
Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, there is a unique
electrum stater of
Aegina. The date of this coin can hardly be much later than about B.C. 700
[8].
The Greeks adopted the Anatolia practice (or vice versa) and extended it to commerce and trade. Coinage followed Greek colonization and influence first around the eastern Mediterranean and soon after to North Africa (including Egypt), Syria, Persia, and the Balkans.
The first Lydian coins were made of
electrum, a naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold that was further alloyed with added silver and copper.

Artemis in Anatolia was named
Potnia Theron, which is translated as "mistress of the animals", and her symbol was the lion and the tiger.
A small percentage of early Lydian coins have a legend
[11].
A famous early electrum coin, the most ancient inscribed coin at present known, is from nearby
Caria,
Asia Minor. This coin has a Greek legend reading "Phaenos emi sema"
[12] which can be translated either as "I am the badge of Phanes" or as "I am the sign of light"
[13] or maybe "I am the tomb of light" or "I am the tomb of Phanes". The celebrated coins of Phanes are known to be amongst the earliest of Greek coins, a hemihekte of the issue was found in the famous foundation deposit of the temple of Artemis at Ephesos (this deposit is considered the oldest deposit of electum coins discovered). One assumption is that Phanes was a wealthy merchant, another that this coin is associated with Apollo-
Phanes and, due to the
Deer, with
Artemis (twin sister of the god of light
Apollo-Phaneos).

Alternatively it is stated
[14] that the inscribed Phanes maybe was the
Halicarnassian mercenary of
Amasis, mentioned by
Herodotus [15], who escaped to the court of
Cambyses, and became his guide in the invasion of Egypt in the year B.C. 527 or 525. This Phanes was probably buried alive by a sandstorm, together with 50000 Persian soldiers, while trying to conquer the temple of
Amun–
Zeus in Egypt
[16]. This unbelievable rumor, only mentioned by Herodotus, was recently proved by excavations
[17]. The fact that the Greek word "Phanes" also means light (or lamp), and the word "sema" also means tomb
[18], makes this coin a famous and controversial one
[19].
The first metal coins are regarded by some as being invented in China. The earliest known Chinese metal tokens were made ca. 900 BC, discovered in a tomb near
Anyang.

Along with Anatolia and China, India also played a major part in the development of coinage. The first Indian coins were
minted around the 6th century BC by the
Mahajanapadas of the
Indo-Gangetic Plain. The coins of this period were punch marked coins called
Puranas,
Karshapanas or
Pana.
. The Mahajanapadas that minted their own coins included
Gandhara,
[26] Kuntala,
[27] Kuru,
[28] Panchala,
[29] Shakya,
[30] Surasena,
[31] and
Surashtra.
^ In the algorithms below, the number of days in month month of year year is: 31 if month is 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, or 12; 30 if month is 4, 6, 9, or 11; 29 if month is 2 and year is a number divisible by 400, or if year is a number divisible by 4 but not by 100; and 28 otherwise.- HTML5 25 September 2009 3:33 UTC dev.w3.org [Source type: Reference]
[32] Some argue that Indian coins were developed from Western prototypes, which the Indians came in contact with through
Babylonian traders.
[33]
The earliest coins made of pure
gold and
silver were made by King
Croesus of Lydia, son of Alyattes. Shortly afterward in the same region gold "darics" and silver "sigloi" were issued by the
Achaemenid Empire of the Persians.
The first European coins are regarded as having been minted ca. 550 BC in
Aegina, an island in the Aegean Sea, with coins of
Athens and
Corinth soon following.
[34] The first
Roman coins, which were crude, heavy cast bronzes, were issued ca. 289 BC.
[35] The first European coin to use
Arabic numerals to date the year in which the coin was minted was the Swiss 1424
St. Gallen silver Plappart.

In addition, cents were originally slightly larger than the modern quarter and weighed nearly half an ounce, while five cent coins were smaller than a dime and made of a silver alloy. Dollars were also much larger and weighed approximately an ounce. Half dollar and one dollar coins are still produced but rarely used. The U.S. also has bullion and commemorative coins with the following denominations: 50¢, $1, $5, $10, $25, $50, and $100.

The monarch would have to periodically recall circulating coins, paying only bullion value of the silver, and reminting them. This, also known as recoinage, is a long and difficult process that was done only occasionally
[38]. While master of the Royal Mint,
Isaac Newton came up with the idea of milling lines on the edges of coins to make it easier to detect coin clipping and to help reduce recoining
[39]. The milled, or reeded, edges are still found on many coins today.

The other side is called the
reverse, or colloquially,
tails. However, the rule is violated in some cases.
[40] Another rule is that the side carrying the year of
minting is the obverse, although some
Chinese coins, most
Canadian coins, the pre-2008 British
20p coin, and all Japanese coins, are exceptions.
