<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bwanatim, post: 788887, member: 22734&quot;]Just did a little research: Coins designed with central holes go back at least to the Romans. Some Chinese coins have square holes.&nbsp; Why holes?&nbsp; Many theories, probably multiple reasons.&nbsp; Could be stringed, spiked or used in necklaces, could have a bigger coin with same weight, looked cool ... etc.&nbsp; But as I suspected, it&#039;s overly simplistic to merely say people didn&#039;t have pockets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
