This infographic from Madison Trust Company gives us a detailed look at the oldest currencies in the world. A nation’s money can give us insight into their most important historical figures, their values, and their cultural customs and symbols. This is on full display in Madison Trust’s infographic. The team listed world currencies still in circulation today based on how old they are.
The chart shows us when the currency was first minted, what country uses it, and images of the oldest and most modern examples of the currency. There’s a lot of fascinating information we can glean from this chart. For example, the oldest currency, the UK’s Pound Sterling, pre-dates other currencies by centuries. We can see just how much the pound has changed in the images included.
