<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4546755, member: 26302&quot;]Roman coins are very common in harbors in North America due to ship ballast being dumped. Much of where they dug up the ballast in Europe was soil that could have contained Roman coins. I am convinced most came here that way, the rest as curios carried by Europeans here. </p><p><br /></p><p>I still resist those who say coins were not native to North America. The Aztec hoes were of a standard weight, used throughout a large area as a medium of exchange, was a symbolic tool, with no useful purpose except as money. The only thing missing from modern coins is mark of governmental issuance. However, the earliest coins in the world also lacked this. So what is the difference between Aztec hoe money and Lydian issues, or early Chinese spades?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
