<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3608330, member: 56859"]Trying something new... a video presentation. The coins are below if you don't want to spend 5 minutes listening to me talk <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.

I'd ask everyone to post their coins of Melita (ancient Malta) but none have ever been shown before on CoinTalk :p :D. Feedback on the video is welcome. It was a tedious and time-consuming but fun endeavor, learning how to use the editing program as I went. I did quite a bit of reading and research for this presentation but somehow I just couldn't make it fit into a brief but cohesive writeup so while this video doesn't add to the body of knowledge, at least it is something different :).[/QUOTE]
