[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1183964, member: 26302"]I see the same on most movies and series, even good ones like Rome. Tbh I never expect anything else, and am happy if they know enough to at least have fakes imitating appropriate items from the period, unlike a "Roman" movie I saw once that had medievla coins change hands. With props being lost and the small size of coins, do you really think the producers should be buying thousand dollar coins for something maybe 10 people will ever notice? Chris Btw look at the solid circle around the Alex tet, another bad fake. I will give you maybe they should spend a little more for a little better fake. :) They can ask China. Edit: My favorite scene for ancient coins is from "Rome". In it the guy owes a doctor like 20 gold pieces, the doctor looks at each one, then throws one out saying, "this one is brass". I had to think about it and how the brass coins of the era would look a lot like gold.[/QUOTE]
