“Here you go Clover” I stare at Jeff the zoo keeper, while he drops a gold coin into my tank. When he walks away, I slowly slide down from my perch that was up on top of the fake little rainbow, that they had given me for my tank. I didn’t like the rainbow that much, but I guess it will have to do. In my opinion the rainbows back home were the best. Colors mixed perfectly in the golden rays of the sunlight. The rainbow in my tank was the complete opposite. It had a glare from my warm yellow tank…

1852 “Gold Coin Fifty Day Robbing Spree”, the camera slowly zooms out, having the picture focus perfectly on a gentleman’s frown.

If a piece is gold-plated, the gold can wear and show the true metal underneath. Also, if you're wearing a ring that turns your finger green or causes a weird reaction, it's likely that the metal isn't real gold or silver. Slip the ring, bracelet, or necklace under a bright light. A plated piece of jewelry will have visible tint in areas where it's been worn. Fake metals that are meant to mimic silver or white gold will have a plating of rhodium over them. This is what makes them shiny and…

They were essential from an economic standpoint, but they also could convey a message to both a kingdom's citizens and foreign kingdoms. For instance, women were traditionally rarely minted on coins (unless they were goddesses), since many societies believed that women were unimportant or unworthy of such an honor. This began to change around Selene's time, first with her own mother, then with Fulvia (one of Marc Anthony's early wives), and even Octavia. Still, to be minted on a coin was a…

Should we keep the penny? Does the penny have limited use? Why is it still in circulation? These are all questions people ask that don't want the penny in our coin system. I myself am for the penny and personally I do not believe that they will never get rid of the penny because of the history that has been behind it for so long and for many other reasons. At the end of this paragraph I hope you are for the penny because of how important it is to the U.S.A If we get rid of the penny prices will…

exchanged electronically. But coins were the commonest medium for money in the past and continue to be in much of the world today. Even the United States has re-introduced a dollar coin. At the start of the Republic, Romans were still using the barter system, and cattle -- pecus -- were the standard of exchange. In fact, it was from pecus that the Latin word for money, pecunia, was derived. Eventually pieces of bronze became an additional form of exchange. These chunks of bronze were called aes…

of propaganda, or simply as a means of documentation. In the Roman Republic, coinage served as goods themselves, in a system of bartering, not like money used in modern times. Early Roman coins were stamped on the obverse only, serving as a display of the person or city responsible for the minting of each coin.
