<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 608718, member: 9204&quot;]This is no new argument. However, in the past, the debate was between solely precious metal coinage and a mixed coinage, including lead or bronze. To give two examples, and bring us back to a numismatic discussion, Erasmus once lamented the state of the economy by decrying the lead coins in circulation. And the English crown, before the 19th century, thought that minting of bronze coins was below them; thus, all English bronzes before the 19th century were minted privately![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
