Hacksilver (sometimes referred to as hacksilber)
consists of fragments of cut and bent silver items
that were used as bullion or as currency
by weight in antiquity.
A fragement of a rectangular silver ingot cut from a rod found. This silver
ingot was made by melting down worked silver cast into a rod and cut into
sections. The Vikings arriving in England had a bullion economy where they paid
for goods with silver that was weighed to an amount agreed between the buyer and
the seller. Hacksilver and silver ingots are the most common evidence for their
bullion economy. It took some time for the Scandinavian settlers to adopt a
monetary economy like that of the Anglo-Saxons, and both systems were used
simultaneously for a while before they fully adopted the new system. They were
familiar with monetary economies but they treated coins as just another form of
silver before adoption of a monetary economy.
