<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 2320419, member: 57364&quot;]These jeweler copies were generally not meant to defraud. They were made because the demand for gold coins was much higher than the supply of available coins.</p><p>This had several reasons among which:</p><p>- Family fortunes were not in a bank account, but at home in the form of gold jewelry and coins. Coins were also used directly in jewelry.</p><p>- Gold and silver coins were extensively used for gift purposes, for example at weddings. Nowadays you might still get a silver Victoria Rupee copy as gift for the guests at an Indian wedding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
