<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 2940409, member: 88829&quot;]The last paragraph from Peter Tompa needs to be read and understood before you get paranoid.&nbsp; “The regulations contain some belated acknowledgement any restricted coins must also be ‘found’ there. (Previous import restrictions on coins have improperly equated where they are found with where they are minted, though they are items of commerce that typically circulated widely.)”</p><p><br /></p><p>The point of this limitation is that the coin in question must be shown to have been removed from Libya improperly in order to be subject to the restrictions being imposed.&nbsp; Manufacture in Libya is not enough, since the normal use of coinage in antiquity would allow circulation outside the place of minting.&nbsp; There must be a direct connection to the artifact to demonstrate that it was removed from Libya in modern times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tompa has been hammering that home to lawmakers for well over a decade. [make that <i>three</i> decades][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
