I believe that some countries put holes in the middle because it made it easier to keep track of them. You could put a string through them and wear them around your neck.

no way...I mean you could but that's not the real reason is it? lol.

From what I've read, yes actually. A number of the coins were designed to by put on a strong so you could wear them and not lose them. I guess that was before wallets and coin purses.

haha! that sounds retarded to me but hey, well I guess it depends where you wore them at, it seems like you would be advertising how much money you had.

Maybe they wear the coins under the shirt. I'm not really sure. I like to not advertise how much money I have, but that's just me. Maybe in some cultures, it was the thing to do, and maybe they had low crime. No clue, man! As a man once said, "I'm just a singer of simple songs" or something like that. :D

hahaha! hey look I'm almost to 400sp, the delegation goes away at the end of this month so I'm busting my butt to try and get to 500 on my own.

Yeah they probably had a totally different culture which we wouldn't understand.

That's a really fun stage to be at because you know you're close and you can almost taste it, but you're not quite there yet. It's very exciting! I'm happy that you're plugging along so well. You talk with a lot of people, so the more SP you have, the more Steemit is going to grow. :D
