<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 622955, member: 9204&quot;]I have to disagree with you on this one, Hobo. I think you misinterpreted the statement. There are no decrees banning the collecting of coins in ancient Rome. What that article is referring to is more speculating, as one today would buy euros in the hope that they&#039;ll rise in value compared to the dollar. Or, as the coins were primarily precious metals, something more akin to bullion investing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, it is also possible that the author himself is misinterpreting the statements in Diocletian&#039;s Edict that banned the transport of more than 1,000 folles of coined money. (not much at all!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
