<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1268669, member: 26302&quot;]Ok, assume the technology is the same. I would dispute that with metallurgical advances, but still. You are still saying the gallic empire had the equivalent of 9 Venetian mints. I just don&#039;t see that from where they were economically and continuity of mint workers thinking they had that many high quality production facilities. They may have had 9 mints, but I do not believe all of them rise to the level of a Venice.</p><p><br /></p><p>A number of a million a day I believe would be conservative for certain Roman periods, like Constantius II who had the whole empire striking coins for him and they were also low value coins like the Gallic ones. However, he also had an entire empire that USED those coins. That is the other side of this equation. I simply do not think the gallic empire had NEED of that many coins, and why strike them if there is no need? Remember these were not PM coins, their only value was within their own empire by emperor decree.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
