<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2043469, member: 42773&quot;]Well, the mouth story is largely apocryphal - I&#039;d like to see some scholarship on that. But it does make a certain amount of sense if you image tucking the coins under your gum like chaw. The coins aren&#039;t going to go anywhere if you&#039;re careful, and since your mouth is so sensitive, you&#039;ll always know they&#039;re there.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, these coins were bigger in the ancient world than they are today because homo sapiens was considerably smaller. Our predecessors weren&#039;t hyped up on vitamins and growth hormones as we are today. Anyone who doesn&#039;t believe me can go to a show in a theater built in the 19th-century. You&#039;ll spend a few miserable hours trying to get comfortable in seats made for pygmies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
