Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 09/20/2011 1:44 pm The first one has silverish gilding. When it wears off it gives the appearance of circulation, but the same thing happens to thin gilding even if the coin just sits there. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 10/07/2011 7:32 pm Yea they are often called Kuchi coins and were used on all sorts of tribal costumes. They made imitations since most of these tribes could not afford to waste real money by making it into jewelry. Report this Post to the Staff
