Episode Transcript: #1041 - Dan Carlin

Dan carlin ladies and gentlemen and we're live hey dude first of all

Thank you so much for this coin this coin from Constantine you brought me

What how many years old is 1700 that's fucking crazy man

It's fun to I always say I like giving something that is the oldest man-made object in most people's homes

Maybe not yours. You'll have some aboriginal instrument or something that's like from the Stone Age

But most people that'll be the oldest man-made thing in their home my friend doctor Mark Gordon actually gave me a Roman coin as well

But I don't know whose coin is all yours looks older. I don't know that's depressing though because normally I'm the coin guy

So I hate that I've been beaten to the punch by anybody on that

Well, he's he's kind of a historical

Efficient auto or a history efficient auto as well not the extent that you are though

But so this is from Constantine. Yeah, my wife would spend that by accident just so you know

Where's that coin? Oh, I got a coffee. I got a pair of shoes. That's right. No one by shoes

No, what what how much was that worth back then? Do you know what the I think that's like their penny probably

Is it is did they have what kind of units do they have like they probably had like some dead metal type thing?

And then some kind of bronze and then you get into the silver and gold and how much is mixed into the rest and

And they have those like you can go and it's actually really cool because they wear better like like they'll they'll clean the silver off

And it looks like yesterday

So you always know it's the cheap stuff when they're all dirty and everything like that. Oh, right because then it's like a penny

Well, our pennies get the same way, right? What do you think this is made out of? Oh some alloy?
