Why is that insane? Iam missing the joke but I am rather dense about jokes.

This is interesting because I have read that after the romans left around 400 AD there was a serious shortage of small coins, the kind you need for everyday exchanges.

So for instance you couldn’t get chage from a gold coin if you wanted to buy a cow.

So people went back to barter. Small coinage is important.

And the guy has such a happy look on his face!

No, I’m sorry.

I was just stunned. It was the guys first time with a MD and he finds this hoard.

It’s really amazing.
