From shells to clamshell phones : the history of money


Thanks to the economist , I discovered the new money gallery from British Museum "From shells to mobile phones" with many amazing objects. With the first bank note made in China in Ming time and the strange "suffragette" English coin. 
There are many informations about hyperinflation, for example it's not in Zimbabwe that the biggest banknote was issued but in Hungary. There is also an article in La Tribune about the top 5 hyperflations. 
Unfortunately all the exposition is not visible on internet, but not many chip cards are present (some cards and sim but not at a big place). And if the exposition was made at Le Louvre, I'm sure that assignats and chip cards will be placed in front of the gallery. The impact of chip card in money history is may be different from France than from anglo-saxon countries.
