<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2562549, member: 76086"]I dont think its a mistake at all. Economics remain very similar despite the passage of time, culture, place, etc. But, I suppose I should ask before I get too detailed, is your opinion that small change in this specific instance is military in nature or overall general practice through the centuries? Certainly this period of time is dominated by warrior emperors and it is no surprise that there is a plethora of military themes on the coins. But the general user of these coins is certainly not the military (as you point out yourself). I dont disagree that there was a flow down direction of cash disbursement. But the end user is the general public and the government would know that. Again, I have self-edited my response as I am not sure how specific your idea is to what issue, general or specific.</p><p><br /></p><p>The location of mints means nothing to the discussion, really.
