i would guess some transactions generally embodying this concept were among the very first uses of written communication systems.

nope. This was a piece of paper you could take to a bank that might be 1,000 miles away from where you were standing when the transaction took place, but you were willing to accept it as payment for services.

For the first 500 years writing existed, it was used only by the government to keep tabs on grain supplies and shit. It was used to figure out how much food to feed to slaves and shit. Super grim stuff.

It was not until FIVE CENTURIES LATER that anyone even thought to record the first dynasties, and it was a long time after that anyone used writing for fuck else.

The knights templar did it to enrich themselves while furthering trips to the holy land (pilgrimage, warring, whoring, etc.)
