The Greeks in Asia Minor started using coins around 600BC. We know this from the solid archaeological record and references in surviving literature. Using coins would have impacted directly on how cities traded with each other. The way Athens was able to use its coinage as a valuable medium of exchange in far flung countries points to its power as a leading Greek city where the arts and sciences flourished.

Tracks thinking essences: known fact, analysis, opinion, like this example.

The skill in writing an essay, other than narrating known fact, is to weave analysis and balanced opinion around known fact.
