| | Roman currency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During the third century, the denarius was replaced by the double denarius, sometimes known as the antoninianus or radiate, which was then itself replaced during the monetary reform of Diocletian which created denominations such as the argenteus (silver) and the follis (silvered bronze). | | | The exact relationship and denomination of the bronze issues of a variety of sizes is not known, and is believed to have fluctuated heavily on the market. | | | Another reason for debasement was lack of raw metal with which to produce coins. |

| | Perspectives in Numismatics - Eight Hundred Years of Roman Coinage |
| | Throughout the later Republican period, and during Imperial times up to the end of the 4th century A.D., Roman coinage was produced on a vast scale, making it a rich source of material for the present-day collector. | | | Each of these new coins was clearly marked with its value as a multiple of the nummus, and their large scale issue from an expanding mint system meant a return to the more settled economic conditions of earlier times. | | | The prerogatives of the military commanders in the field often included the right to strike coinage to meet emergency expenses, resulting in large scale decentralization of minting. |

| | The Continental Currency piece is similar in style to the Fugio cent, but is about the size of a silver dollar. | | | The basic reference on the "Continentals" is Eric P. Newman's, "The 1776 Continental Currency Coinage," in Coin Collector's Journal 144, 7-8/52 and its supplement, "The Continental Dollar Meets Its Maker," in The Numismatist, 8/59, pp. | | | The monetary denomination of the Continental Currency piece remains uncertain today, so we hesitate to label it a coin. |
