<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 4597753, member: 75525&quot;]I agree a note in your words is better than a copied note. I submitted my comments today. My Comment Tracking Number: <b>1k4-9hji-rw9r</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I did a lot of reading and rereading. It is not easy to find the list of restricted items. The list in 2001 did not restrict coins. It did restrict metal items and stretching the words could include some coins.</p><p><a href="https://eca.state.gov/files/bureau/it2001dlfrn.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://eca.state.gov/files/bureau/it2001dlfrn.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://eca.state.gov/files/bureau/it2001dlfrn.pdf</a></p><p>The list in 2011 restricted lots of coins and included aes rude, cast bars and cast coins. </p><p><a href="https://eca.state.gov/files/bureau/it2011dlfrn.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://eca.state.gov/files/bureau/it2011dlfrn.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://eca.state.gov/files/bureau/it2011dlfrn.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I looked back a bit to the original agreements. They are dated 1970. I copied a few quotes below. I think 5.d supports my theory that some archaeologists want coins to stay in the ground so they can date dig sites. I also wonder if Article 11 means that Rome should send trophy items from _____ back to _____?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>UNESCO CONVENTION ON THE MEANS OF PROHIBITING AND PREVENTING THE ILLICIT IMPORT, EXPORT AND TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF CULTURAL PROPERTY </p><p><br /></p><p>Article 5; (d) organizing the supervision of archaeological excavations, ensuring the preservation &quot;in situ&quot; of certain cultural property, and protecting certain areas reserved for future archaeological research; </p><p><br /></p><p>Article 11</p><p>The export and transfer of ownership of cultural property under compulsion arising directly or indirectly from the occupation of a country by a foreign power shall be regarded as illicit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
