    Ancient Roman Gold Coin Found

    The article says in part, "The coin would have been too valuable for everyday use, like using a $100 bill to buy a pack of chewing gum." Looks like SCs existed even way back then.

    I wouldn't be surprised if SC's of those days hand over the coin, merchant accepts it, and SC makes a joke about how he minted it that morning.
    To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

        I think you mean Sestertii.

        (Sorry, Mom is a scholar of Ancient Rome. )
        “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
        One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
        The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers
