Talk:Cast coinage

Material on fake coins removed
I've removed the text below:


 * "They usually make rare, old coins using this method to deceive coin collectors into thinking these counterfeits are real.


 * To detect these coins, look at the edge and look for a seam where the two halves of the mold were joined. Also, look for lack of detail, super-smooth surfaces, and way too much luster, as counterfeiters often over-polish their dies and coins, causing all three of these to occur.".

I don't think it belongs in the article. Alfons Åberg (talk) 18:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

incorrect end date.
In the line "Traditional Far Eastern cast coins—so-called 'cash coins'—are the most famous example of cast coinage, and were issued from the 4th century BC until circa 1912" it is insinuated that the casting of coins in the Far East stopped with the end of the Qing Dynasty, while a French Indo-Chinese cast (copper) coin circulated until 1945 (while some sources place it at 1933) and we in fact have other articles with sources linking to this fact om the website.
