Sadly that’s not true. King Alyattes was the first person in recorded history to create currency. The first known currency was created by King Alyattes in Lydia, now part of Turkey, in 600BC. The first coin ever minted features a roaring lion. Coins then evolved into bank notes around 1661 AD. Turkey is in Europe, with parts of it being Eurasian.
the chinese created the currency.
