(Show)
This article looks at how most TIbetan transactions were handled by means of barter until contact between Tibet and China increased during the 13th century. Up until this point currency was only somtimes necessary in urban communities that surrounded the larger monasteries. (Mark Premo-Hopkins 2004-04-19)
