<p>[QUOTE=&quot;inscriptor, post: 1922098, member: 26211&quot;]Hey everyone again!</p><p><br /></p><p>Just finished working on a small research. Since I am from Russia, I decided to find out if there had been coins in Russian Empire with special countable items, that made it easier for illiterate people to recognize and distinguish between coin denominations. So here&#039;s the result: <a href="http://creounity.com/apps/time_machine/index.php?go=countable_items.php&amp;lang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://creounity.com/apps/time_machine/index.php?go=countable_items.php&amp;lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://creounity.com/apps/time_machine/index.php?go=countable_items.php&amp;lang=en</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It turned out that there were three types of such countable items (mostly dots), and they had been minted for almost a century: from 1713 to 1810.</p><p><br /></p><p>What about old coins from your native countries? Did they have dots, stars, lines or whatever countable for the purpose of recognizing coin&#039;s face value?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to see some pics of them, if you please <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
