<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 986182, member: 26302&quot;]It is hard to answer. I guess I can guess based upon some hoards I have purchased. In the hoards, it seems to be fairly common for coins about 30-40 years to show up with &quot;modern&quot; coins. In that respect I would imagine they are similar to our coins today. Also like today, whenever you had a debasement of coinage, (like 1965 taking silver out, or 1982 cents), then the older coins disappeared faster than would otherwise be the case. There are many coins, (I am thinking of Antony denari), that circulated longer because they were already debased and were not hoarded until Roman coins fell below their silver level.</p><p><br /></p><p>Short answer, they left circulation as soon as current coins were more debased, short of that probably the same lifecycle of current coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
