<p>[QUOTE="Mike Margolis, post: 3232240, member: 88401"]depends on your perspective. Find a nice worn copy of the <u>Thousand and One Arabian Nights</u> by Richard Burton, read some of the stories and set it on a coffee table with a nice place for the ancient dirham next to it. These I believe as well as dinars are mentioned often in those great stories. Used in the ancient bazaars they carry the flavor of a different civilization. You may not find a person to pay you much for it but it carries a big part of human history. The culture responsible for those coins gave us one of the great world religions as well as many advances in math, architecture and art........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
