Numismatic Vocabulary and Defintions
Arrow Head Money. Arrow heads of stone or metal have been used by carious primitive people as objects of barter. Although they may be considered as primitive money they cannot be classed as coins. The American Indians and the Japanese used stone arrow heads for purposes of exchange and the Chinese used bronze arrow points. Chinese numisnatists 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.).
