what other currencies were used in the past before gil was adopted?

I feel like past currencies would make for a really cool rare drop (like, ULTRA RARE), and be exchangeable for unique items or much larger sums of gil, kinda like the way if you find a really old coin now it could be worth substantially more than it's printed value. Not only would this be plain cool, but it would make for a nice (albeit very rare) bonus for people who run dungeons and raids regularly. Kinda like the syrcus shard drop in ST. It was super rare, but was a pretty hefty reward if you ever saw it.

Make it a random drop too instead of a chest item. Like the way the Inferno Horns and stuff worked pre 3.0.

Yeah. Would be pretty cool to get em. Depending on what kind of value they put on them, it would give people an incentive to run certain dungeons (assuming the currency you find is tied to a specific area/demographic). Slap on a little lore tag to the item description and it would be a pretty cool thing to add to the game.
