<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4547854, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, WAY too many people try to claim that coins &quot;prove&quot; something. Coins, before they even got to curios, were metal. As such, they were reused for centuries. Look at Ostrogothic coins. They took old sestertii and made marks on them to use as large denomination bronze. Roman gold coins have been found en mass in Scandinavia and India. Islamic coins from 1000 years ago found in Australia. None of these things meant colonization, it could mean simple trade, shipwrecks, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read about someone claiming they found a Ming &quot;anchor&quot; in SF bay. Maybe the Ming visit, but OTOH the anchor is a round rock with a hole in the middle. It kind of might just be a round rock with a hole in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
