<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3540696, member: 72790&quot;][ATTACH=full]940922[/ATTACH] Many of us have heard of, seen or may have one of those tiny coins known as minims, from minimus, very small or the smallest. They are somewhat of a mystery and I was wondering if someone well versed in (or just acquainted with) these coins could tell us more about them. Below are pictures of two along with a small ae of who I think is Constantius Gallus(?). The two minims in the picture seem to be of Fourth Century emperors so I don&#039;t think they are the same as the barbarous radiates of the late Third century. So, who made these minims, why were they made, where are they found (hoards, trash dumps, stray drops in the market place) and whatever could they have been useful for other than getting themselves lost waiting centuries for someone with a metal detector to uncover them?[ATTACH=full]940909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]940911[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
