[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 7654397, member: 112342"]I mean with modern technology we can determine the exact purity of coins as well as the minute differences in weight, but did ancient people really knew that their new coins were 2-3% less pure than the older ones, or if they weighed some milligrams lower? unless the merchants and mercenaries were weighing 100 or 1000 coins at a time and could see a difference in the usual number of coins.
