The use of coins in the Mahajanapada period indicates which economic change?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Growth of trade and exchange
The appearance and wider use of coins, including punch-marked coins, indicate more developed exchange, markets and commercial activity. Coins could also assist taxation and payments, although barter continued. Their use does not mean a return to hunting, the absence of writing or the destruction of towns; in fact, it fits the growth of urban centres.
