<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4670887, member: 110350&quot;]I think people in other EU countries, at least, could still buy coins from Italy.&nbsp; And remember that this would extend well beyond coins found in Italy: it would prevent the importation of Roman coins into the USA (at least from Italy; I&#039;m not sure if it applies to importation from other countries) regardless of where they were found, unless it were possible to document the provenance of a given coin back to a date before 1909, proving that it wasn&#039;t dug up after that year.&nbsp; In any country. (There was testimony at the meeting that more than 97% of Roman coins that have been found in hoards were found <u>outside</u> Italy.&nbsp; By the logic of the proposed MOU, any ancient Greek coins or artifacts found in Italy should actually be considered Greek cultural patrimony, not Italian!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
