<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1020368, member: 39&quot;]I do believe that what Dave Harper (link in the first post) wrote was a tongue-in-cheek article. As for some of the replies here, well, to me they did not really have much of an ironic undertone. Maybe I am in a somewhat misanthropic mood tonight. (And while I am at it, why would anybody call the British Europeans? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I digress ...)</p><p><br /></p><p>Guess the issue of exporting old coins, and the possible effects of the Unidroit convention, have been discussed to some extent. Asking to &quot;return&quot; ancient coins is indeed exaggerated in my opinion. On the other hand, selling and buying ancient, medieval, etc. pieces without any kind of pedigree does to some extent encourage &quot;plundering&quot; archeological sites in various parts of Europe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
