My coins through the centuries (6th BC - 21st AD) - dougsmit

Ummm, I could do a second set if nobody else is ready to go ...

Mentor, do you want to try Round-2? (good times, yes?)



Ancient coins are fun, eh?

*edit*

Uh-oh ... apparently I only have one coin from the "8th" Century AD ...

That was a weak one for me, too. I guess we should go shopping.

do you think there will be any 22nd century coins? or will everything be electronic by then? maybe in less developed parts of the world they will still use physical currency or something?

 

I can say without a doubt I won't be here to find the answer to that.

 

yeah, i guess we'll never know will we?

 

AMAZING!!

 

Hey, in case you USA dudes are interested ... the World Junior Hockey Final is about to start (it's on every channel in Canada) .... curious?

... do you you dudes even have it on your USA TV?

=> Go Canada!!

 

Hockey, hell yes. Red Wings.
No Canadian tv though. Maybe if I move the satellite dish to the north

 

Go Wings!!!!!!

 

Just wanted to say that I liked @stevex6 's 16th century example. It looks like the duke was rushing to get into the official photo and was still mostly out of frame when the camera went off. (Any idea why they made a coin with the subject so far out of "frame"? It just seems like a strange artistic choice.)

 

Parthicus => it is supposed to be a sword coming out from the clouds (pretty cool, eh?)

Reverse: armored arm, wielding sword, emerging from clouds
