<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1745656, member: 19463&quot;]Increasingly as I age I tend to use the term &#039;ancient&#039; to mean &#039;ancient and medieval&#039;.&nbsp; I have no trouble separating modern coins from the other two since my definition of modern coins are those using machines in their production (coin presses).&nbsp; Older methods lasted longer in some places (Chinese Cash and Russian Wire money come to mind) but coins struck in collars with power beyond a strong arm are modern.&nbsp; When I say I collect ancients, I really am saying I don&#039;t collect machine made coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
