<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 8240484, member: 115909&quot;]Omg ancient coins as jewelry drives me nuts!</p><p><br /></p><p>Please don’t misunderstand. I understand why people did it. The coins looked pretty &amp; flashy. I also imagine having a silver or gold coin on one’s body acted as a form of prestige in being able to have enough money to wear it on one’s body.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most average people needed every single bit of their money which often still wasn’t enough.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But the damage to the coins is what infuriates me. I saw a company that was turning Pre-1933 gold $20 Double Eagles into rings!</p><p><br /></p><p>I know they were common dates and it does help lower the surviving population so remaining coins are technically rarer every time one is destroyed…but still..coins are art &amp; artifacts. Don’t damage or destroy them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
