<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7810442, member: 26302&quot;]Always be careful on dating of coins from China. Its a national pride thing, they always want to claim to be the first and best at everything. Almost all experts in the west state Chinese coins were a tad later than Greek coins, so this would not be the worlds first mint. However, in my mind it does not matter, both evolved independently, so both are tremendous accomplishments for both civilizations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, this is meant as no disrespect to anyone Chinese. I am talking about normal country pride, and academic papers I have read that I do not feel care who is first, only care about the facts. Btw, Sardis mint has been thoroughly excavated, and I would say this is earlier for a mint age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
