Karina Gr\u00f6mer (Prehistoric Department)<br \/>\nNatural History Museum Vienna<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 1889, the Natural History Museum on Vienna&#8217;s Ringstrasse was opened with its 39 large exhibition rooms, 8,460 square meters and more than 100,000 objects on display. The museum houses various collections from the realms of botany, zoology, geology, mineralogy and archaeology with more than 30 million objects.<\/p>\n<p>The Natural History Museum in Vienna also exhibits means of payment beyond coins. In the Bronze Age, in the 2nd millennium BC, standardized groups of objects such as eyelet neck rings and bars first appeared in Central Europe, some of which were found buried in the ground in their hundreds. They can be seen as an early form of money. They can be viewed in Hall 11 of the museum.<\/p>\n<p>Molluscs are presented in Room 23: Many shells or parts of shells were highly valued as pre-monetary means of payment. Cowrie or porcelain snails in particular made their way along old trade routes through South Asia and Africa to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Money was usually carried in the form of chains, with the quantity and type of snail indicating the wealth of the wearer. In addition to whole snail shells &#8211; especially porcelain snails (Cypraea) and sand snails (Nassarius), shells from cone snails (Conus) and Achatina snails (Achatina) were usually ground down or made into disc money. Shells from spiny snails (Spondylus) or quahog shells (Mercenaria) were also worked on, as were occasionally dentalium shells known as &#8220;elephant teeth&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The means of payment commonly referred to as \u201cshell money\u201d was therefore made largely from snail shells and can therefore correctly be called \u201csnail money\u201d in many cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Literature:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eschner, A.
