I wonder what it was like to use them as they are so small. How did one carry them around? How did a merchant store them? You would have needed delicate fingers to pick them up off of a counter and really good eyesight to see what denomination they were.</p><p>__________________________________________________________________</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite ancients. The person who created the dies for these coins had excellent eyesight.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665462[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665463[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
