<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2348562, member: 75525&quot;]The MOU between the US and Italy covering cultural property was extended on Jan. 15, 2016. The MOU has been in place since 2001, and added restrictions to coins in 2011. Restricted are coins of ancient Greece, Etruscan, and early Roman Republic as well as city coinages known to have originated in Italy. There was an effort to expand the MOU to cover Roman Imperial coins, but this did not happen. </p><p>You can read more here:</p><p><a href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/import-restrictions-extended-not-expanded" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/import-restrictions-extended-not-expanded" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/import-restrictions-extended-not-expanded</a></p><p>or here:</p><p><a href="http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/News/US-MOU-with-Italy-Renewed/4?&amp;id=3883" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/News/US-MOU-with-Italy-Renewed/4?&amp;id=3883" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/News/US-MOU-with-Italy-Renewed/4?&amp;id=3883</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a fan of leaving coins in the ground until the turn to oxide or an archaeologist recovers them and dates a dig. I think coin restrictions are a bit like a tree lover telling a truck collector he can not restore the one below because it might hurt the tree.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]477953[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
