<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 26112282, member: 105571&quot;]Here&#039;s how I picture the ancient coin striking method:</p><p><br /></p><p>Slave A places one die on a flat stone and places a blank flan on that die.</p><p>Slave A holds a bronze or iron rod with the other die on top of the blank flan.</p><p>Slave B take a honkingly large and heavy mallet and strikes the top of the rod.</p><p>If Slave A doesn&#039;t flinch, the result is a nicely struck coin.</p><p>If Slave A flinches, the coin is poorly struck.</p><p>If Slave B misses, replace Slave A.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
