<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1243030, member: 112&quot;]Fair enough, I stand corrected. Turns out what I was remembering was the actual adoption of milled coinage as opposed to the first experiments with milled coinage, which you have related below. On that count at least I was correct. And oddly enough it was a German, Marx Schwab, who first sold the idea of milled coinage to Henry II. But France, and later England, abandoned the experiments with milled coinage because of opposition from from the coiners guild. France finally adopted the universal use of milled coinage in 1643 and England did not adopt it until 1662.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
