<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 968802, member: 26302&quot;]These metal rings are most likely simply leftovers, (in the ground after the leather has rotted away), from bridles and the like. The Celts in one tiny instance were known to trade in such things for small denominations, but like most societies metal was of value, and they used what they had. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most Celtic collectors do not consider those things as coins, especially Celtic coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman coins are probably the easiest ancient coins to start on for a westerner. Look at those on Ebay if you wish. Stay away from &quot;uncleaned&quot; coins, and buy a few cheap, nice coins. Then as people here about them, buy some books, and next thing you know you are hooked!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ask Doug, he is a serious Roman addict! Many others too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
