What does Menē mean?Updated an hour ago

Menē (pronounced "meh-ney") is an ancient Aramaic Word with a deep meaning that reminds us of the permanent link between jewelry, gold, and long-term savings.

A "Menē", reflecting 567 grams of pure gold, is the first written word for "money" as codified in the Codes of Hammurabi and Ur-Nammu 4,000 years ago. For most of written history, the term "money" has consistently referred to a standard weight and purity of gold or silver.
