The Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings both used and minted coins - but not in quite the same way. By the 8th Century, Anglo-Saxon kings took an increasing interest in the economy and the minting of coins; initially golden ones like tremisses, solidi or mancuses, but later the silver peningas or sceattas. For the Vikings however, weight was everything, their economy being one of bullion in which silver of any form could be used to purchase goods.
