<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus87, post: 4314487, member: 96372&quot;]Not to flog a dead horse (at least not too much I hope): it occurs to me that filing these serrations must have been a really time-consuming task. So even with, say, slaves to do this scut work it must have seriously cut down on the rate of production.&nbsp; And anyone who’s worked (as I have) for a large, structured organization would appreciate how much of a turd-in-the-punchbowl welcome this kind of slowdown might have.&nbsp; So maybe that’s why the practice was discontinued.</p><p>And, as far as doing it to base-metal coinage,</p><p>don’t overlook the possibility that the PURPOSE of the exercise may not have been at all understood so far down the bureaucratic chain as the actual production level.&nbsp; (“Yeah, I guess they want us to do it to all of this stuff, so shut up and do it...”)&nbsp; The Kevin Effect?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
