Did you know that in 1907, a banker named Ramón Casas started using rice as currency in the Philippines? The shortage of coins prompted this creative solution, with each grain of rice being worth a specific amount. The rice currency even had different denominations, with larger grains representing higher values. This unconventional approach to trade and exchange flourished for several months until the government stepped in and resumed the circulation of regular currency. Imagine buying groceries with a handful of grains - talk about a unique shopping experience! What other bizarre currency stories do you think exist in history? Share your thoughts below!
