<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 25810285, member: 10613"]Weights can vary because for these low value coins the mint merely needed to strike x amount per pound. So, if the rate was 100 coins per pound, some might be overweight and then some might be underweight. The important part at the end of the day, was that 100 coins were produced from the amount of material...not how much each individual coin weighed. Despite this, the Romans were remarkably consistent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
