Tokens have functioned since ancient times as tokens for accounting, monetary, celebratory, or reward purposes. They are more than 8,000 years old, originating in the Sumerian civilization as a way of recording and accounting for business information. By means of carved rocks, it was possible to know how much grain, cattle or oil they had at their disposal.
Over the years and the history of humanity, other economic systems have been developed to trade assets and goods. Barter, the first coins (such as the Roman denarius), precious metals (such as gold or silver) and even the invention of the bill. However, despite the centuries, the idea of the token survived until the last monetary revolution.
