What does PEAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A form of currency made from strung shell beads, once used by Native American peoples of eastern North America and later adopted by early European colonists for trade.
Communities living along the eastern woodlands of North America wove small polished shell disks into decorative strings long before Europeans arrived, and settlers soon began accepting peage in ordinary transactions much as they would coin. A string's worth rose and fell with the kind, hue and count of its shell pieces, dark purple ones generally fetching a higher price than pale white ones. Seventeenth-century ledgers and treaties record payments in peage alongside furs and metal coin, showing how deeply the practice took root in commerce along the Atlantic seaboard. As metal-based money spread through the colonies, peage faded from daily life, and the term now turns up chiefly in histories of early trade.
