When I was a kid taking history classes, it always confused me when I saw pictures of really old coins. I thought "these people are idiots, why did they make their coins in weird shapes?" None of my history teachers ever told me why the coins were weirdly shaped. I had to learn it from internet racists and antisemites.

its not necessarily clipped. back in those days, most coins had odd shapes because they didn't have a machine making them perfectly round. also, with time, that coin deteriorated in the ground.

Ancient peoples could make round coins. They just didn't make them perfectly round like today.

They made round coins as a means of fighting coin clipping, which occurred back then, too. Interestingly, Isaac Newton invented modern coin ridges (reeding), to also help fight coin clippers, and made coin metal measurements even more precise, to combat counterfitters. He eventually became head of the British Royal Mint in the late 1600s.

Imagine downvoting someone for stating historical facts that don't happen to align with the premise of a meme. People on this board need to take a good hard look at this movement and ask "do we want to spread truth and knowledge to normies or do we want to be laughed at by normies for spreading easily-debunked bullshit?"

They might not have machine but they have mold, of course they are not perfectly round but they are passable. And they definitely are not in this random shape in the pic
