Those marks prevented the shaving of the coin’s edge to debase the coins by taking weight off of them. Another way to f*ck other people. You could also put the coins in a bag, shake it vigorously to make them take little flakes off the coins to fall in the bag. Then collect and remelt the flakes to make more coins. Guess who mostly did this.

has anyone actually tried shaking the money bag to get enough shavings to mint a new coin? wud it not take a very long time, a big money bag... and how much is the shaker getting paid?
reply
I don’t know! I have just heard and read about people doing it with both gold and silver coins.

One of the improvements Bitcoin has over regular money... you can no longer pinch the edges to debase the value and get new money out of thin air. Long live Bitcoin! 💪🤠🍊⚡

and that's not bad, there can't only be good money, remember that there isn't enough for everyone, bad money is also needed so that the likes of us who haven't woken up yet have something to pursue and deal with...
Same as always.
In the past it was gold and the rest of the minerals copper, silver, nickel among others. then it was gold and the different papers 💵💶 💷 Now it's Bitcoin and the different new shitcoins that emerge every day plus the ones we already mentioned above $€£.
