[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5133089, member: 115909"]Ugh turning coins into jewelry should be a crime! I’m studying Classical History in college and I’ve seen amazing examples of Ancient Greek/Roman coins with giant holes poked through them because someone thought they’d make a nice necklace. :( The worst case was a gold Aureus minted under Marcus Junius Brutus. The same man who helped assassinate Caesar. The coin had a giant hole through one of the two daggers on the reverse symbolizing that act. Such an amazing historical relic...destroyed for jewelry. I don’t know why people can’t just buy replicas if they’re going to ruin it by poking a big hole in it..[/QUOTE]
