Thank you for this video! A quick peek through the time machine into the past! Milled edges were put on precious metal coins by the Roman Empire to keep people from filing off some of the metal and selling it. Dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars still have milled edges, even though they became "Johnson slugs" in 1964.
Indeed! Driving through the area seems like going back in time. It's amazing places like this are still so well preserved. That is a fun fact on the coins... makes prefect sense! I just learned something new today🤠 Thank you for sharing!
