<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 986248, member: 19409&quot;]I&#039;m pretty sure that, at least before the high inflation of the third century, Roman coinage in general circulated far longer than modern coinage would.&nbsp; I believe it was Trajan who finally demonitized Republican denarii, which would have been over 120 years old at the time, and the fact that he did that means that some must have still been circulating.&nbsp; I recall Kenneth W. Harl writing that a rather sizable percentage of coinage was still Republican at that time, but I won&#039;t be able to double check his book until at least later tonight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
