Chinese Gold Bar Money
Gold ingots were originally used in ancient China as a currency, and we can say that in their roots they were somehow analogous to our nowadays gold bars. Gold ingots were originated by Chinese emperors in order to have a currency suitable for their dynasties' transactions. They used to have a shape comparable to a boat, being this symbolic of the richness transportation from one point or person to another.
