Définition

• Arrow heads of stone or metal have been used by various primitive people as objects of barter. Al- though they may be considered as prim- itive money they cannot be classed as coins. The American Indians and the Jap- anese used stone arrow heads for purposes of exchange and the Chinese used bronze arrow points. Chinese numismatists have sometimes included these in their works. See Ramsden. There is, however, a specific instance of an inscribed bronze arrow point in the Korean series known as Chun Pei (q.v.).
