<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1316531, member: 26302&quot;]Lots of those get sold. I have never really bought that they were money above the fact that any form of metal could be used for bartering. I used to believe possibly they were, then I read an article about bridles. Bridles, even ancient ones, have tons of little rings in their manufacture. One bridle found from an ancient battlefield, or even from a farmstead, could yield 40 of these. Because of that, and the fact I have never read any proof other than one small passage in an ancient text that mentions &quot;ring money&quot; as an aside, I simply treat them as ancient metal rings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cool little things, no offense meant Moneyer, and I own some myself. This is a major problem with non-typical money, proving they were actually coins. I feel the same about a great deal of chinese &quot;proto money&quot; as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
