That's amazing! It really shows how valuable cacao was to the Aztecs, not just for food but as an actual currency. 
Imagine paying for things with chocolate! It’s fascinating how something we now enjoy as a treat was once such a crucial part of their economy.

Yeah. I read about this before. Chocolate, specifically cacao beans, was used as currency by ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs. These beans were highly valued and traded for goods and services.
