Tea bricks were used as currency in China, Mongolia, Tibet, Central Asia and Russia from the 9th to the 20th century. The stones were mainly produced in the provinces of Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan in southern China. They were made in different shapes and sizes and transported by yaks or camel caravans. Because they are compact, easy to store and carry, tea stones are a practical currency that are even used to trade with people from other regions.
