<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1009325, member: 112&quot;]As you know I know next to nothing about ancients and because of that I never even enter into such a conversation. But this much I do know - copper, just like gold and silver, was and is a precious metal. Now in today&#039;s world that is less so than it was in years past, although even the US Mint has recently discovered that it is still true much to their dislike. But in years past was indeed a precious metal. And every bit as much care went into monitoring is use in coinage as did with gold &amp; silver. The weight of copper coins (and its alloys) coins was important. And the punishment for those who debased copper coinage was just as severe. And this was especially true of ALL silver coins, including all of the minor denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
