<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4974059, member: 72790"]Possibly repurposed as buttons. On 18th Century military regimental coats the large, facing buttons were fastened using one hole. I thick string or leather lace was tied in knots, first one end through the coin then the lace into the jacket and retied as a knot on the other side of the coat. Much less likely to come off in rough activities than if sewn on the way we do today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
