<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IanG, post: 4985007, member: 109252&quot;]One day I took a tour round the British Museum&#039;s Money Gallery. At the end of the tour the Museum representative asked if we would like to handle some coins. One of those was an Alexander drachm. The sense of excitement that I felt at handling something that would have been handled by Greeks a hundred generations before me fuelled a desire to own some coins of my own. That was what started it for me -&nbsp; like Restitutor I have always had a love of ancient history but until speaking to the Museum staff I had absolutely no idea that ancient coins were so common and collectable. It&#039;s that tangible connection with the past that thrills me, the knowledge that these coins would have been used by real people to buy real goods and services 2,000 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
