In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. 38 The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasnt long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal. 39 By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.
