<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErolGarip, post: 2857782, member: 88736&quot;]Another confirmation for non-existence of face values on ancient coins (a short talk on another forum last year): </p><p><a href="https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=255899" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=255899" rel="nofollow">https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=255899</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>From there, an article on &quot;buying power of ancient coins&quot; (in 2000): </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/worth.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/worth.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/worth.html</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;What we can learn from ancient coins?&quot; from an archaeology website, &quot; <a href="http://www.archaeologyexpert.co.uk/ancientcoins.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archaeologyexpert.co.uk/ancientcoins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.archaeologyexpert.co.uk/ancientcoins.html</a> &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Some parts on this page: </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;... Coins are found at nearly every archaeology excavation site throughout the world. Naturally in very ancient archaeology sites there are no coins discovered as the introduction of coinage, as a standardised form of value, did not occur until the late 8th century BC ...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;... Prior to coins, the means of exchange of goods and services in commercial or private transactions was more or less a modification of the barter system...&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>*** </p><p><br /></p><p>Those coins too which (is claimed that) occured after 8 BC (even modern coins of today) are not much different than a modification of barter system. It may be less clear in modern coins as they have face values, but, it is more clear in ancient coins with no face values. Whether they are with face value or not, all these coins even today are coins of barter system. They are just like this jewellery gold coin which is a barter tool like any ancient coin of last 2500 years including today.</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]679786[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
