Some of the earliest currencies were objects from nature. A notable example is cowrie shells, first used as money about 1200 BCE. Although they may seem a pretty random choice, the shells had a number of advantages.  They were similar in size, small, and durable. The mollusks that produce the shells are found in the coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans.  The expansion of trade meant that even some European countries accepted cowrie shells as currency.
