@antiquities33, in 4:10 you see an owl and a letters 'O' with a dot, it means a 'fire' (this is symbol of it), next is 'A' and 'E'. Whole is translated as 'AFIRE", [A fire E]. While 'Afire' means "BEANO"/ pleasure/ joy/ (sex).

@pookieslim. DO NOT sell them. Don't you even dare and don't go to anyone with them, cause you will be ROBBED at night.

About Persians being the second to initiate coinage, they weren't. That would have been the Greeks. Further, the Persians for many years used coins only in the far west of their empire, largely for trading with the Greeks. Persians called neighboring tribes "barbarians," and the ancient Greeks called the Persians "barbarians." Ancient Greece was a more advanced society. Whereas Greek city-states were initiating democracy, the world's first, Persia was a tyranny run by a despot.

It is interesting to know that Persian were about the second civilization which used and replaced coins with bartering system after Lydians (being the 1st). Unfortunately Persian civilization was wiped and destroyed many times by barbarians and now the west just ignores so many facts about them.
