An Interesting Fact about Ancient Coins!
Archaeologists are people who study historical objects and ancient civilisations. These people have examined ancient coins, which are thousands of years old, from around the world, and have discovered that lots of these ancient coins have holes in them. Why do you think coins would have been made like this? Does the picture on the right give you any ideas?
That’s right! Archaeologists believe that people in ancient times probably wore their coins on a string or pin for decoration as jewellery!
