Understand Rome isn't a country ( Italy) but it was the first civilazation that I remember having coin money
There are multiple theories on the origin of coins. One theory argues that coins originated ca. 600-550 BC in Anatolia, which corresponds to modern-day Turkey, in particular in the Anatolian kingdom of Lydia. Opponents of the Lydia scenario point to the fact that coins of that era have been totally absent from archeological finds in Sardis, capital of Lydia
Nice research,
Rome isn't a country. Also, its almost impossible to tell where coins where 1st made, as there are coins that aren't dated.
