<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2328575, member: 76086&quot;]Scrap would be the most reasonable explanation.&nbsp; Years ago I wrote a paper for an anthropology class on &#039;bog bodies&#039; in Europe and UK.&nbsp; I found several references and photos of ritual deposits of hundreds and some of thousands of rings.&nbsp; It may be possible that these deposits and their association with burials contributed to their being interpreted as &#039;coins&#039;.&nbsp; What were they, and what was the value they had?&nbsp; Nobody will know.&nbsp; They may have had religious significance, or, they may have simply had value as scrap metal and thus been seen as wealth by those who buried them.&nbsp; But, that is just one example.&nbsp; And certainly not coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
