<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 3931638, member: 83845&quot;]I also love story coins!&nbsp; They are not all expensive and some of them are downright <i>inexpensive</i> for how interesting they are. </p><p><br /></p><p>I could tell you about the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-jewish-coin-and-its-modern-descendent.292881/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-first-jewish-coin-and-its-modern-descendent.292881/">story of the first Jewish coin</a> or of a <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-story-of-the-coin-struck-to-fight-hannibal-the-first-denarius-and-its-influence.300387/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-story-of-the-coin-struck-to-fight-hannibal-the-first-denarius-and-its-influence.300387/">coin struck with looted silver to fight a war with Hannibal</a> or the mystery of a <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/julian-the-beard-and-the-bull.341242/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/julian-the-beard-and-the-bull.341242/">coin that was hated by the early Christians</a>.

I bet you will find a good story more times than not. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
