What buying & selling did they do?

Iron Age gold coins These Iron Age coins are all made of gold. They are all copies of original Coins and were made in moulds. On one you can read the name of the king, TINCOMMIUS. Gold was an expensive metal, so these coins must have been worth a lot of money. Coins like these would not have been used for buying things. Silver coins These are two very small silver coins, only 8 mm across. They may have been used for buying things. Currency bars These long pieces of iron are called ‘currency bars’. They could have been traded for goods.
