Here is a link to a brief history of their use in coins to help you with your research: http://www.biblical-data.org/MY_alu...m_Bronze.pdf "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

This coin is cracked because it's been bent and twisted; if you take any coin and bend and twist it enough, it will crack like that. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
