<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 5234069, member: 72790&quot;]I wish that when people decide on a list of the &quot;most ......&quot; coins they would establish a definition of the term used. This list is certainly interesting but some of them had such limited circulation that they were hardly ever seen by Greco-Romans in any economic or financial setting and would have been seen as curious to them as to us. If important means something like, &quot;facilitated trade, financed territorial expansion, set off rampant inflation, brought down rulers, that sort of thing, I could see the term &quot;important&quot; applying but I think that several of the coins on this list were little more than exotic. For &quot;important&quot; coinage i would have chosen something like the Athenian owl tetradrachmas or the tetradrachmas of Alexander and the successors, maybe the cistaphoric coinage or maybe just plain, everyday Roman Republic denarii, any of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
