Can I Get A History Lesson On Usa/ USA Coins?

Bringing it back on-topic, for a coin forum: pre-Columbian cultures in North America did not use coinage; that particular invention never crossed the Bering Sea and if pre-Columbian contact with the Old World occurred as frequently as some believe, the contactees were never taught about coins.

Most Native American societies did not have much of a concept of "money" at all. The closest things you can find are various forms of "primitive money" such as "wampum" (shell beads) in eastern North America and "naipes" (axe-money) in Ecuador and Peru. As is the case with most primitive monies, such objects usually had other ritual or practical uses besides their use purely as money and there is much debate amongst archaeologists and anthropologists about exactly how "money-like" such objects were.
