Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/26/2017 5:58 pm Who would like a little coin with their center hole? I love numismatic oddities, if you haven't noticed by now: The coin is a Wu Zhu from China; that type was made over the course of 736 years from 118 BC until 618 AD. During emergency coin shortages, the local officials would (with or without official approval) punch out the centers of the coins, and viola! Twice the currency supply (that is an economically sound solution, right?) Put them together and... Daoist philosopher Laozi once wrote: Quote: The door and windows are cut out from the walls to form an apartment; but it is on the empty space within, that its use depends.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/02/2017 12:22 pm Figure this one is good enough for this thread: Rome Denarius if Domitian under his father Vespasian (69-79 AD) She-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus COS V, celebrating Domitian's 5 consulship The pushed out metal indicates the two holes were pushed in from the reverse, probably to make a necklace or bracelet of Rome's foundation myth. I wish I knew who wore this as jewelry; when and why! Report this Post to the Staff

It has to be something related to the image of "Cheese-us" on toast, but I am not connecting the dots here.
