guy Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Numerous ancient Roman coin molds have been discovered in Castleford, West Yorkshire, England (see the map below). It remains unclear whether these molds were intended for producing illegal forgeries or, less likely, authorized emergency replicas. Sanctioned replicas may have been used to pay troops stationed at the Empire's outer reaches, later being replaced once the authentic currency arrived. (The video below describes ancient coin molds.) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14294449/I-Fraudius-Roman-coin-conmen-discovered-nearly-1-700-years-committed-crime-punishable-crucifixion.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
