  • Axe-monies (Spanish: Tajaderos) refer to bronze artifacts found in both western Mesoamerica and the northern Andes. Based on ethnohistorical, archaeological, chemical, and metallurgical analyses, the scholars Hosler, Lechtman and Holm have argued for their use in both regions (which are separated by thousands of miles) through trade. In contrast to naipes, bow-tie- or card-shaped metal objects which appear in the archaeological record only in the northern Andean coastal region, axe-monies are found in both Mesoamerican and Andean cultural zones. More specifically, it is argued that the system of money first arose on the north coast of Peru and Ecuador in the early second millennium CE. In both regions, bronze was smelted, likely by family units, and hammered into thin, axe-shaped forms and bundled in multiples of five, usually twenty. As they are often found in burials, it is likely that in addition to their presumed economic use, they also had ceremonial value. (en)
  • Las monedas hachas se refiere a los artefactos de bronce encontrados tanto en las costas de Ecuador y en Mesoamérica. Basado en análisis etnohistóricos, arqueológicos, químicos y metalúrgicos, los estudiosos Hosler, Lechtman y Holm han abogado por su uso en ambas regiones (que están separadas por miles de millas) a través del comercio. Más específicamente, se argumenta que el sistema de dinero surgió por primera vez en la costa de Ecuador y norte de Perú a principios del segundo milenio a. C. En ambas regiones, el bronce fue fundido, probablemente por unidades familiares, y martillado en formas delgadas, en forma de hacha y agrupadas en múltiplos de cinco, generalmente veinte. Como a menudo se encuentran en entierros, es probable que, además de su supuesto uso económico, también tengan un valor ceremonial.​​​​ (es)
