<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cplradar, post: 7882787, member: 108985&quot;]I am not trying to rain on your parade here, but I thought this was an interesting teaching moment about coins and artifacts.&nbsp; This kind of transportation of an artifacts or a material from one culture to another is a tribute to the global scope of human trade, even over generations, that is unique to our species and can be found the world over.&nbsp; There are Chinese artifacts in Ancient Egypt.&nbsp; African objects in Europe and the Caribbean, etc etc.&nbsp; It is just an ordinary occurrence.&nbsp; Things of value get handed around, passed from generation to generation and travel about the globe, including in North and South America.&nbsp; It does not imply, without further evidence, of any direct trade or cultural contact.&nbsp; All the more so for coins.&nbsp; Every circulating coin you touch has a fascinating personal history, locked inside, and never to be known.&nbsp; They travel everywhere, not just as trade mediums, but for their own values.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
