<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zcs90, post: 26145827, member: 45488&quot;]I recently found out about the hexagram, a coin struck from melted down church silver in the 600&#039;s AD during a desperate time in the Byzantine Empire. I also came across a story of Athens melting down golden statues of Nike to mint coins in 407/406 BC.</p><p><br /></p><p>These stories caught my interest and I was wondering if anyone knew of any other coins made from melted down metal like this or had a good resource for finding more?</p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate any information you can provide![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
