💡 Trivia Chocolate has been used as a currency in ancient civilizations of Mexico and South America

As the Aztecs began dominating Mesoamerica, they also came to love cocoa beans, which couldn’t be grown in their civilization. They had to rely on the Mayans and traded cocoa beans with them as a system of money.

Chocolate isn’t the weirdest thing that’s been used as currency in the past, either… potato mashers?
