ROMAN REPUBLIC,
    The earliest Roman coins were rude lumps of bronze called, natch, aes rude.  After that they went for big bronze ingots, then oversized cast bronze coins.  Eventually, in the late 4th century BC, they got into struck bronze and Greek style silver coins.  The standard silver denomination, the denarius, from which we get our "dime," was struck in hundreds of varieties over a couple of centuries and on into the Empire.
