How to encourage the modern use of gold and silver coins: Copy the images on 2000-year-old obscene brothel tokensBy Andrew LeonardA colleague suggests that if Idaho wants a sure-fire strategy for stimulating the local silver industry, then the state should follow the lead of the ancient Romans, and encourage the minting of coins depicting pornographic acts.Pictures of Roman “spintriae” — a. k.a . brothel tokens — here.

Work.Readers would be correct to think that this post is little more than a shameless and brazen attempt to attract page-views for previously generated content, much in the same come-hither-big-boy way some Roman prostitutes generated their own business.
