<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1987290, member: 26302&quot;]Not to mention Arab-Bukharan coins, Trilingual hunnic coins, etc. What &quot;money&quot; looks like is a very cultural phenomenon, most people do not pay that much attention to &quot;money&quot; besides its appearance. All of these examples enabled the new rulers to continue to foster economic activity while minimizing the effects of ruler change to working class citizens. Look at how arabic silver in Persia had the exact same thin flan of Sassnid coinage for centuries after they took over.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a reason Chinese still used cash coins for 2000 years. Only after 100 years of having a lot of exposure to western style coins did the chinese feel it was safe enough to change the form of their money. </p><p><br /></p><p>Try it yourself. Think of a $20 bill. What design is on the reverse? Who&#039;s signature appears on all of the twenties in your wallet? Heck, most Americans cannot even name the scumbag who appears on the $20. But they know it has a 20 in the corner and LOOKS like a $20, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
