<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2177378, member: 19463&quot;]Excuse the ignorant question from a coin gatherer:&nbsp; What was the original purpose/use of all those lead Egyptians? </p><p><br /></p><p>For what its worth, my entire holding in lead is made up of a pair of Ikshvakus elephants.&nbsp; I assume they were used as money but I really do not know how to tell that or, for that matter, how to be sure how many of my copper coins might have been otherwise purposed.&nbsp; I have several US or UK tokens but they were emergency money when the government issue was insufficient to cover demand.&nbsp; We have had a few other uses like the WWII ration tokens, sales tax tokens and bus passes.&nbsp; In ancients, we have been told of admission tokens but I am unaware how we know what we, supposedly, know.&nbsp; Help, anyone?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]421161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]421162[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
