<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3232246, member: 87200"]Interesting thread and I have pondered this question before. I wondered how much gold of the Egyptians ended up in Greek and Roman coins, since they had the gold but didn't mint any coins until the 4th century B.C. when Nectanebo had to pay his Greek mercenaries. How many earlier aurei ended up as Medieval solidi? Numerous other questions arise. Like Doug I saw bullion and thought this was a modern thread so I've just noticed it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
