"During the Bronze Age, beginnings of modern society began to emerge: Tool use expanded, agriculture replaced wild food, and people developed systems to trade money. The practice of using money dates back to the Early Bronze Age of Europe, which lasted from 2150 to 1700 BCE, according to a new analysis of thousands of standardized copper objects discovered north of the Alps. Researchers described the object shapes as rings, ribs and axe blades, and ran a statistical analysis to assess the uniformity of each object’s size. Though the objects’ weights varied, around 70% of the rings — and subsets of the ribs and axe blades, too — were indistinguishable to humans weighing them by hand, indicating they were used as currency. Each ring weighed around 195.5 grams, but the uniformity was set by casting the metal in molds, rather than assigning a target weight to each ring."
