<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 7465430, member: 10461&quot;]That is utter nonsense.&nbsp; Read what’s been posted.&nbsp; The oldest known European coin with a Christian date on it is believed to be the Roskilde denier from Denmark, dated 1234, as mentioned.&nbsp; (Of which there are seven known and only one in private hands outside of museums.). That’s not even <i>one</i> thousand years old, let alone <i>four</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to other cultures, coins in the widely accepted sense of the word (with or without datable inscriptions on them) have only been around for about 2,700 years at most, not “4,000”.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn’t believe things you see on TV in the first place, let alone a secondhand description of what someone <i>else</i> saw on TV.&nbsp; They get numismatic facts wrong all the time on television shows.&nbsp; Even in some programs put out by people who should know better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
