Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Sea Shells, Genus Liguus - Cuba Tree Snail (Liguus fasciatus fasciatus) - Cuba 1973 - Michel Cuba 1918 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

The world of finance is very interesting.

If you travel around the world in space and time, you can learn about #finances and #money, such that it is difficult to fit into the picture of today's world.

The postage stamp below, issued in 1973 on the island of #cuba, shows Liguus fasciatus fasciatus.

This series was named Sea Shells, Genus Liguus.

But, if everything is clear with postage stamps, then what does the snail shells have to do with it? What kind of money are we talking about?

#china, #japan, #korea, #india, #thailand and the #philippines are the countries that used the colorful shells of sea clams as currency.

The shells of the Kauri family clam had a high enough value to become a currency.

At the end of the nineteenth century, people forgot about such a monetary unit, coins came to the place of shells.

The shells featured on postage stamps from Series Sea Shells, Genus Liguus are no less beautiful and unique in their own way than the cowrie shell.

If today we compare the cost of mollusk shells at auctions and the cost of many crypto coins, then slow snails will become the winner.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
