Book of Mormon monetary system

The Book of Mormon monetary system is part of the setting of the Book of Mormon. It is the system of economic exchange that the narrative describes as being used by the Nephites. Mormon, the internal narrator of the Book of Mormon, first introduces the system in the internal Book of Alma. When Alma and Amulek preach in Ammonihah, the lawyer Zeezrom unsuccessfully attempts to bribe Amulek to deny the existence of God. Setting forth the system as a background for this account, Mormon, the narrator, outlines the value relationship between precious metals and grains. There is no evidence for this sort of system being used in the Pre-Columbian era Americas.
