Amber Nuggets
In ancient Baltic regions, amber—fossilized tree resin—was so valuable it became a trade currency. Its beauty, rarity, and use in jewelry and ritual objects gave it economic weight. Merchants carried it far and wide in trade caravans.
Amber was especially prized by the Romans and Egyptians, who believed it held magical properties. If your wallet glittered like golden sap, you were doing just fine in the ancient world.
