Shell belts used as money were called wampums
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the Native people did not use wampums as money originally, when Europeans came to the Americas, they realized the importance of wampum to Native people and soon, they were trading wampum shells with the native peoples of New England and New York. The New England colonies demonetized wampum in 1663, but it continued as currency in New York until 1673.
