I don't think they had currency in 1922 bc.

They sure didn't have the greenback in 1922BC, but various empires and city-states minted their own bronze, copper, silver, and gold coinage. You can even find stories about 'clippers' in historical literature.

If you're unfamiliar with them, they're people who clip coinage for the metal to make into legitimate bullion, or to use as a skin over near-weighted fake coins. The more famous cases happened in Europe, but even in the early days of the Greek Republics people were put to death over it.
