[QUOTE="fiatfiasco, post: 1904174, member: 67957"]I have a question. Everyone relax, it is just a question, I am assuming this is the beginning, a draft, as you say, of what you were planning to roll into the CoinUniversity, right? So my question is this, the title is "A Lesson on Colonial Coins;" what portion of a class, a course, a degree, does this piece you presented represent? The reason I ask is that there are entire books written about this. Entire books written about individual colonies. One major barter thing that I know of just off the top of my head is that barter wasn't limited to just tobacco, in fact, it also included compressed tea bricks. Little bricks of tea leaves that were used like money. But they aren't durable and therefore didnt truly fulfill the role of money. But it was used. A lot. And I know nothing of Colonial coins. I am just curious, partly because I want you to wrap your head around a little better, the freakish vastness of this hobby. I want you to see how people weren't beating you up about your idea, just that you were putting the horse before the cart, before the rider even woke up that morning! Does that make sense?[/QUOTE]
