The saga of American money covers a period of nearly four centuries, from 1620 to the present. It began when the early European settlers in New England started trading with Native Americans for furs and commodities that could be exported to Britain. The furs, tobacco, and lumber exports were used to purchase needed items that could not be produced locally. Trade was carried on with the Indians through the use of barter and strings of wampum, which were fashioned from mussel shells in the form of beads. The immigrants, in fact, had little use for coined money at first, but when merchandise arrived from Europe, coins were usually demanded in payment for goods. The United States Mint was established in 1792 and coins became the preferred method of payment. For hundreds of years, rare coins and precious metals have proven themselves to be an excellent hedge against inflation and a source of ready money in times of crisis.
