<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1565064, member: 26302&quot;]I think modern coins are more industrial, with more cost implications to deal with, than ancients. In many ways the ancients had it easy and didn&#039;t worry about a lot of things modern mints have to worry about, like stacking, cost per unit, perfect reproduction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I think most people overlook the immensity of the legacy the ancient greeks gave us for coinage. Basically the entire concept and idea of beauty on coins have come directly from the first coins produced in the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>That was my only point. I find the Britannia coins attractive, I just wanted to illustrate its beauty is a direct gift from the ancient greeks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
