Abstract

From the electronic currency to the invention of the electron currency : In Lydia in the 7th. century before Christ At the origin of banking and financial technologies, that is : around 7th C.B.C., the first coins were minted by stamping precious metal. More than 2000 coins have been found, dating back to the 630-600 period, according to some researchers, although the exact dating is difficult to know. Currency innovation also coincides with the invention of writing, mathematics, calendar, astronomy and philosophy. Most of these coins are of royal origin and the lion is the most common figure, since it represents the royal glorification. Their genesis is associated with a sovereign's act for war expenses, and soldiers and mercenaries'pay. Before and after the first Lydian minted coins, ingots have been used for commercial exchanges in the Near East ; even now, there are still in use. The first coin distribution appears to be like the share of glory, a « supremacy's talisman ». But, as soon as they were put in circulation, their magical power was transformed into purchasing power. By using metal coins, people are able to pass from the single and essential purchasing act to the double purchase and sale transaction.
