When was the first non-coinbase transaction?

Question

What's the block number? Also if it was a test transaction, then what was the first event of real commerce if know?

I don't recall the block number, but I'm pretty sure it was Satoshi sending Gavin 25 BTC. I think it was after block 70,000. — lurf jurv, May 11 '13 at 15:00
It seems Hal received the first set of BTC in block 170, but it would be interesting to find out who spent what and when during the first 100k blocks — Charles Hoskinson, May 11 '13 at 17:23

The first non-coinbase transaction in the chain is in block 170. Not sure what you would consider a 'real' versus a 'test' transaction, but given that there is an entirely separate blockchain for test transactions I'd consider it as real as any other.

A transaction used for actual commerces versus a transfer of wealth to encourage use of bitcoins at a later date. – Charles Hoskinson May 11 '13 at 17:21

Impossible to know, unless you can track down the owners of all the early transactions and ask them. – slashingweapon Jul 18 '13 at 21:48
