Before gold, salt was money. Discover how a simple crystal built empires and shaped the first global economy.
Long before coins, paper banknotes, and digital currency, salt functioned as one of the world’s first forms of money. It preserved food, powered armies, controlled trade routes, and determined the rise and fall of empires. From ancient civilizations to the Roman Empire and the collapse of colonial power in India, salt was more than a seasoning — it was economic power itself.
In this CoinedStory episode, we explore how salt became currency, how it was taxed, smuggled, and fought over, and how control over salt meant control over people. This is the untold story of how survival shaped money — and how money shaped civilization.
From physical resources to digital systems, the logic of power has never changed. The story of money begins with salt.
