<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 3896935, member: 51347&quot;]I understand the Greeks made these tiny fractionals of their AR Drachm until they started using larger, lesser metal value AE Coinage as fractionals.&nbsp; I also recall that these small AR fractionals are usually not found in hoards, rather they are found in marketplaces where folks were more apt to transact and drop them. Like todays small denominations, if dropped, folks may not be as apt to get down and look hard for the low-value coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Put yourself into the times: no paper currencies, and if you did not barter, then you used coinage, whether large or small. You adapted and coped with this everyday life until times and new technologies evolved. As in 200 years from now, people will be amazed how we coped with the tools and technologies of our today’s daily lives. It is life, no big mysteries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
