[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 8201892, member: 42034"]Very interesting article. It shows the role that the silver coins played in the local economies. Strange that these once very common coins would become so highly prized today. Chinese coins have certainly become all the rage these days. I wonder what happens to all these coins? I guess pawnshops and coin dealers get them? I lived in Brazil's major financial center for 3 years. Periodically I'd meet someone who would tell me: "Oh my dad, grandfather, etc collected old coins back 50 years ago. He had a really big collection and was really into it.
