<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 449882, member: 6370&quot;]I dont think its the technology, the byzantines could strike and did strike coins the same as they had always been struck. That would be, in short, two etched dies, a planchet and a hammer. I would think cup coins were oversized planchets struck with a cup shaped die on one side. So the only difference is the shape of the die and size of image to planchet. My vote has always been the stackable explination, or some reasoning similar as the one expressed by Ardatirion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
