The ancient Chinese had spade money and knife money. Why couldn't the ancient Greeks have handle money?
I once heard of something called "handle money". I've never seen any so thanks for sharing. Now I know what to look for.

Amusing. Wish they would tell a seller from France that modern Medals don't belong in the ancient coins section on ebay.
People, this was a joke posting, so get a handle on yourself. Just use glue and not screws to affix the handle on yourself. Screws could hurt and incur bleeding.
See, this is how I can tell when I'm in the Ancients forum. Over in Bullion, you never see people telling you not to go... well, you know.
