<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7487444, member: 110504&quot;]To lots of people&#039;s points here, maybe provisionally starting with [USER=15481]@svessien[/USER]&#039;s, I relate to ancient and medieval coins far more primarily as miniature historical documents than as &#039;money.&#039;&nbsp; The ensuing dialectical shift in how to relatate to them in the first place has an added bonus for some of us, only most prominently if you gravitate toward a certain side of the political spectrum.&nbsp; In terms of their function as money, this stuff is already where, as some people on the first page of this already noted, bitcoin will be after 2300 years.</p><p>...And, yeah, you have to value history in the first place to get any traction with this, beyond trying to cross a mountain pass in winter without snow tires.&nbsp; ...Makes it hard to convey any of this to people who, metaphorically or not, get their history from comic books.&nbsp; And yes, to Donna ML&#039;s point, that&#039;s a phenomenon that already spans several generations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
