<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8281926, member: 100459"]I would assume that people in ancient time, had to keep their money in a "sack" since it cannot be put into a wallet or a pocket. I don't know if there are any readers of Louis L'amour books, but his most interesting books were about a man, named Barnabas Sackett. His story begins when Barnabas had been hunting in property owned by a rich titled family. (Kind of like "Robin Hood".) It seems that he was being hunted when he hid in the forest. In his hiding place, he sat down and felt something under him. When he felt for it, it turned out to be a "money pouch" and it had 5 gold coins. The story surrounds him selling a couple of the gold coins to finance a voyage to the "new land." The story goes on that the nobility adds 2 and 2 and gets 3, because an earlier noble had lost a great treasure and the current nobility believes that Barnabus found it and so they put out a warrant for Barnabas.</p><p>That's all I'm going to say about the books (there are 3 books about Barnabas; "Sackett's Land", "To the Far Blue Mountains", and "The Warrior's Path.")
