<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 8287431, member: 98035&quot;]So after about 6 years of faithful service, it was finally time to change the battery in my little coin scale. When I got it cleared off and flipped it over and took the battery compartment off, I heard a rattle inside. Thinking it might be a screw knocked loose, I tried to shake it out before I had to disassemble the entire thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>To my surprise -</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1464480[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Out fell a tiny 5mm Kyzikos tetartemorion, which I guess had fallen in there about 4 years ago when I bought a huge lot of these from Kairos Numismatik (whatever happened to them?) And I thought I had sold them all!</p><p><br /></p><p>This just reinforces - I really cannot fathom how Greeks used coins like these for daily commerce 2,400 years ago! How did they not lose a dozen a week?</p><p><br /></p><p>Post any coins you lost and later found, or any so small that you&#039;d never find again if you did drop them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
