对吕底亚和希腊铸币起源的讨论必定涉及货币与社会变迁之间的关联。这是近些年国际学术界的一个研究热点。但是,货币并不必然以铸币的形式产生,没有铸币的古代社会就没有货币的看法也不准确。亚里士多德认为钱币始于贸易需要。这一解释受到近些年的考古与文献证据的挑战。但目前对小亚细亚所出现的铸币的解释仍然不能厘清铸币起源上的一些技术问题。吕底亚铸币的出现主要原因就在于成本和称量次数的总体降低。而交易成本的降低则进一步使铸币的绝对和相对生产成本的降低成为可能,贵金属直接充当货币的货币体系开始形成。
The discussion of the origins of the Lyprian and Greek mintage necessarily involves the connection between money and social change. This is a hot topic in international academic circles in recent years. However, money does not necessarily come in the form of mint, nor does the ancient society without mint money have the view that there is no money. Aristotle thinks coins begin with trade needs. This interpretation is challenged by archeology and documentary evidence in recent years. However, the current interpretation of the coinage in Asia Minor still fails to clarify some of the technical problems in the origin of the coinage. Lydia coins mainly due to the cost and the overall reduction in the number of weighing. However, the decrease of transaction costs further makes it possible to reduce the absolute and relative production costs of the mint, and the monetary system in which precious metals directly act as the currency begins to form.
