<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 2531472, member: 75936&quot;]Yes, I know about that, but I don&#039;t buy it.</p><p>Is a dime struck in the San Francisco mint in 2005 considered an Arnold Schwarzennegger dime? He was governor of the state containing that mint, wasn&#039;t he? A 50 pence coin struck in London in 2010 when Boris Johnson was mayor - can we call that the Boris Johnson 50 pence?</p><p><br /></p><p>There seems to be a lot of inconsistency in how we attribute coins - generally, i find if it doesn&#039;t follow the usual convention, there&#039;s a financial motive. Don&#039;t get me started on the optimistic Cleopatra VII attributions from the Paphos, Cyprus coinage. And to me, the coins attributed to Pontius Pilate should more properly be attributed to Tiberius, whose name actually appears on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want coins with names and portraits of people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
