First coins?[edit]

The article states that coins were minted in China in the 11th century BC, but I'm having difficulty finding references for this. ChinaCulture.org states coins were developed sometime between 1000 and 400 BC. --Brunnock 12:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for expansion[edit]

Considering the importance of coins throughout history, this article is far too short. I've tagged this article and put it up on Wikipedia:Requests for expansion.

I do not know much about coins but I think the article would benefit from more information on:

How coins first came in to use
History of use in different parts of the world
Minting processes throughout history
Counterfeiting which I am sure goes hand in hand with coins throughout history
Particularly notable coins from different times

I'm sure there's more that could be added but as a start I think these would add some much needed "meat" to this article. -- Rpvdk (talk) 07:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC) coins are the best but the worst and ghati —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.182.88.45 (talk) 08:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete article[edit]

"History of Coins" is neither a popular or an academic term. The title of this article should be MONETARY HISTORY, which is the most widely accepted term. This article has several issues, specially wrong and unprecise data, and I feel it should be deleted altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turpilianus (talk • contribs) 08:41, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
