You briefly mention medieval coinage My question involves the usage of coins in say the 1700s German States were many Were coins strictly localized or were they used widely? Were there money changers required for many transactions?

Do you know why roman/greek coins are often off centre? Sometimes the legend or writing on the outer edge of a coin is not there because the coin was struck off centre None of the (beautiful) examples in your video have this 'feature'

thank you for your vid
Comment from : @aquila_d_oro

cast coins were common in China but not in Europe So if you find coins that lack the stress lines and flan cracks, beware, it is a modern forgery by casting

Thank you for the informative video Do you mind telling us what you say around the 1:45 mark? The Greeks and Romans needed a lot of coins for their what society to work in the first place? It almost sounds like "black" society, but I don't think you are talking about the black market

Thank you for making this video This was exactly what I was looking for from how they did it in ancient Greece and Asia to the reasons why Did all of these different cultures just start with making round coins or did they start square and move to round? It seems like it would be easier to make a square or rectangular coin than a round one
Comment from : @ChesapeakeBay89

Were their any coins with manufactured holes that weren't casting? Maybe punching or piercing? I'm interested in chain maille which have some similarities with coins They used solid rings Manufacturing method of the solid rings is unknown, the hypotheses are mostly surrounding using punch dies on sheet metal, which seems very labor intensive and also produces a lot of excess iron

I have collected at least one coin of each of the Roman Emperors, some of the Augusta, and some Imperial imposters My collection clearly shows how the coins were debased as the Roman Empire began to fail Unfortunately, I have been unable to acquire silver coinage of the Emperors Caligula and Claudius I (due to cost), although I have been able to acquire coins composed of base metals of these two Emperors
Comment from : @Paul-uc8qj

Minute 2:30 The coin shown was probably cut up, with a portion being retained by the original owner, due to the fact of the deflationary value of the silver content, if any It would be used at the original value if possible

I have made some crude coins with dies engraved in hardened steel
Comment from : @bretnielsen5502

Excuse me, do you also collect square hole money in Han Dynasty?
Comment from : @YapyapMainvideoyap

Are clipped coins or manufacturing flaws more valuable like mint mistakes today?

A well-made and interesting video as usual!
Comment from : @Markell1991

I like flow lines on coins, from radiate on "normal" made ones to linear on roller dies
Comment from : @AndrejBk

Huh, the porous appearance of my late crisis coins makes more sense now This is a great video!!! Thanks!
Comment from : @markp44288

cool
Comment from : @TreasureWOMAN

Question I have about the clipping of the coins: what did the clipper hope to do with all those small shavings? Was there a place they could take those clippings and exchange them for goods? Was there a black market that used them for currency?
