They demonstrate a link between bartering with farming tools and the use of true money, as early forms of spade money were meant to resemble functional tools and even included sockets to be fitted onto wood handles. Gradually though, spade money became thinner, flatter, and less utilitarian, a path that would lead to the evolution of standard coinage. Spade money was abolished in favor of Ban Liang coins during the Qin dynasty in 221 BCE.
