Think further back than Aztecs or Incans, way further. The Greeks had gold coins before the Romans, but the Greeks got the idea from someone else. :goldnugget:

Wasn't it the Lydian merchants who struck the first gold coins around 700BC? " These were simply stamped lumps of a 63% gold and 27% silver mixture known as 'electrum.'"

[DrDuck]

Damn Google makes it hard to come up with a question that is more than an easy challenge.

In the same year that a woman was arrested in the USA for wearing pants an important event happened in Australia?

This event would be of interest to anyone who inhabits this forum!

 

[Ramjet]

First guess... Eureka Stockade?

[grumpygold]

gold found at hargraves, start of gold rush in oz

 

[DrDuck]

All good guesses, and correct about Emma Snodgrass. That gives the year. The event was of great potential interest to coin hunters.

 

[Dave law]

Adelaide gold pound.

 

[DrDuck]

Yep Dave gets it. The adelaide pound was minted.

Forum member The Duck reported that someone with a detector found one back in 2013. That would be something!

 

[Dave law]

Thanks dr duck. What father & son arrived on the first fleet each serving 14 years.

 

[Dave law]
