If you've ever heard the term "wampum," it really was legitimate currency in the early 17th century in North America. It was officially decreed in Massachusetts in 1637 that wampum was worth a specific amount. Wampum was simply made out of sea shells, ground down roughly to the size of a kernel of corn. Specifically, they were white seashells, and drilled with a small hole so they could be strung on a belt.
Other items used for financial exchange were pelts (furs), corn, and bullets.
