28) Did You Know Series (115): i) Huayna Picchu - No ancient Coins exist as the Incas had no currency system and the economy and resource distribution depended on the "mita", a mandatory public service: ii) The Stairway of Death

"Huayna Picchu coins" refers to collectible coins featuring the Huayna Picchu mountain and the broader Machu Picchu site, not specific coins issued for the mountain itself.

Modern items marketed as Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu coins are purely for collecting and have no historical connection to the site's original inhabitants.

These coins are commemorative pieces, often made of precious metals like silver or gold, from various countries including Peru, Niue, and Cameroon, issued in different years and collector series, all generally covering the more famous archeological site - Macchu Picchu. They are often part of larger sets like the "Seven Wonders of the World" series.

Examples of Machu Picchu/Huayna Picchu Coins:

Peru's "Wealth and Pride" series:

The Central Bank of Peru issued a coin in 2011 featuring Machu Picchu as part of its "Wealth and Pride" collector series.

"Seven Wonders of the World" series:

Some commemorative coins, like a gold coin from Niue, feature Machu Picchu as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, according to a post on the website of Česká mincovna.

"Journey of a Lifetime" series:

A silver-colored coin from Cameroon, issued in 2025, is part of the "Journey of a Lifetime" series, featuring Machu Picchu and related travel elements, according to numismate.in.

Solomon Islands Gold Coins:

The Solomon Islands have issued small, pure gold coins with the Machu Picchu theme as part of a "World of Wonders" series, reports JM Bullion.

Why there are no historical "Huayna Picchu" Coins:

No currency system: The Inca did not have a concept of coins or money. Instead, the economy and resource distribution depended on the "mita", a mandatory public service where citizens worked on state projects like roads and buildings.

Centralised economy: The Inca Empire operated as a highly organised, centralised state. The government managed the distribution of goods, including crops, textiles, and other resources. Tributes were collected and then redistributed to the population.

Archaeological findings: When Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu were excavated, the artifacts discovered were not coins. Instead, archaeologists found items like pottery, tools, ritual objects, and gold and silver ornaments that were used for ritual purposes, not as currency.

The real significance of Huayna Picchu:

The Incas considered Huayna Picchu a sacred mountain, building terraces, temples, and lookout points on its slopes. 

The famous "Stairs of Death" led to a ceremonial area at the summit and the enigmatic Temple of the Moon, carved into a cave lower down. These sites were used for spiritual practices, not for leaving money.

Protecting the archaeological site:

Because the practice of leaving items like coins can damage fragile archaeological sites, authorities at Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu have implemented restrictions to protect these historical areas from modern influence. Visitors are instructed to only leave footprints and take away memories.

"The Stairway of Death" - Huayna Picchu:

There is a widely-known name of "The Stairway of Death" for a steep and narrow section of Inca-built steps on Huayna Picchu, a mountain in Peru that overlooks Machu Picchu. 

There is no evidence of tourists losing their lives there, though the name comes from the challenge of the ascent. No coins are associated with the "Stairway of Death"; the name refers only to the historical pathway. 

It is a challenging section of the trail to the summit of Huayna Picchu, one of the peaks overlooking Machu Picchu. The steps have been carved directly into the mountainside by the Incas.

They are very steep and narrow, with some sections almost vertical and lacking handrails, requiring reliance on balance and footing.

The steps lead to the summit of Huayna Picchu, where ancient Inca ruins and sacred sites, such as the Temple of the Moon, are located.

Why are they called the "Stairs of Death?"

The name stems from the intimidating appearance and inherent risk of the climb.

The precarious nature of the climb, due to steepness and lack of safety features, contributes to the dramatic nickname.

No coins are associated with the "Stairs of Death." The name is a description of the challenging climb itself, not a mention of a place where coins are found or exchanged.

The stairway of death huayna picchu coins:

There is no historical or archaeological evidence that coins were offered on the "Stairs of Death" at Huayna Picchu. The Inca civilisation, which built the mountain's famous trails, did not use a currency system with coins. The idea of leaving coins is a modern tourist practice, not an ancient Incan one.

The Inca had no currency

The Inca Empire, which constructed the trails at Huayna Picchu in the 15th and 16th centuries, did not use coins or a monetary system. 

Their economy was based on a system of reciprocity and the exchange of goods and services.

The "coins" are a recent custom:

Any coins found on the mountain would have been left by modern visitors. Many tourists leave coins at significant sites around the world as a personal token or offering, similar to throwing a coin into a fountain. This tradition, however, has no connection to the site's original purpose or history.
