<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 24807066, member: 128351&quot;]There was a paper about it but presently I don&#039;t remember which one. It was never a mass phenomenon. I was told this also in the 1980s by an ancient coin dealer in Toronto. It is true that little 4th c. bronze coins have always been discovered in Europe, sometimes in large quantities, but what could they do with them? They weren&#039;t sought after by collectors, the metal was valueless... They were sometimes accepted as small change in Europe, and sometimes shipped to the colonies for trade with the natives. Two 4th c. Roman coins have recently been discovered in a 16th c. castle in Japan. I&#039;m sure they came there in some Portuguese pocket.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
