 Terms about Ancient Imitations of Roman Coins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
There are many casts of coins of the Severans and Antonines and they, of course, have perfect style but rarely show much in the way of remaining silver.
The ancient method of giving cast denarii deceptive silvering (assuming they had it) is not known for certain.
However, sellers on ebay have been using this term to describe imitations of denarii, and that usage of the term has become established in the trade.

This was based on a silver drachma that was only 75% the weight of the denarius; the standard was used in Crete, Rhodes, western Asia Minor (Asia, Bithynia, and Pamphylia), and in northern Syria (where it was called the Antiochene standard).
The most famed silver coins of this standard were silver cistophori (= 3 denarii) struck by the Asian cities of Pergamum and Ephesus, and tetradrachmae (= 3 denarii) of Antioch in Syria.

 Ancient Roman Serrated Denarii - Calgary Coin
Fourthly, fouree denarii were very common at that time.
When you put this together, you get an image of the Romans paying the tribal people on their frontiers with silver denarii, but the frontier people, being very aware that many of the coins circulating under Roman influence were fouree, wanted to test every coin by cutting into it.
This would make larger transactions rather slow as you waited for them to cut the coins, so why not just present them with coins that were already fairly deeply cut.

The broader question of the circulation of Republican denarii in Dacia was the subject of a flurry of scholarly activity in Eastern Europe, especially Romania, some 25 years ago, culminating in the extended visit of Michael Crawford to Bucharest in the mid-70's and the somewhat acrimonious exchange of articles which this visit engendered.
Crawford rejected this, maintaining instead that the official-appearing denarii were just that, coins struck in Rome and exported to Dacia, perhaps mostly in conjunction with the slave trade.
I don't question his methodology or its results, but it does occur to me that another conclusion might be possible, that shrewd Roman merchants and bankers systematically "dumped" their smaller, lighter denarii on unsuspecting "barbarians".

 Tomorrowlands.org | Misc | The Price of Vengeance
I think the contemporary layman really only realizes half the significance of this -- the social significance of "thirsting so strongly for vengeance that they laid waste to the land" -- and misses the economic side of the issue, because we're just not used to thinking of salt as a valuable, costly resource.
The denarius was a Roman unit of currency; the modius was a unit of dry measure equaling approximately 8 liters, or.2825 cubic feet.
This means that salt sold, a few centuries after the birth of Christ, at 5 denarii per pound.

It is ordered that denarii of all kinds, of proper weight and full content, just as is contained in the capitularies of our predecessors and royal progenitors, in the fourth book, the thirty-second capitulary, should not be rejected until Martinmas.
nor should good denarii be rejected, but they should not be accepted unless properly and well weighed.
And from that day any one who produces another denarius for a business transaction should be deprived of it by the count or other official, just as is contained in the second book of capitularies, in the eighteenth chapter.

 Hoards
However, de-monetisation of coins is not a hundred percent achievable when the coins are worth their own weight in silver, unless they can be brought to a mint, which Britain did not have, and clearly some survived.
Closing dates of hoards are spread out evenly over the entire period, indicating perhaps that they were not buried as a response to a particular danger, but as a matter of every-day security.
If the idea of denarii circulating 200 years after they were made is difficult to swallow, consider this: Could one family have accumulated them year in year out for 200 years and if so, why, since the oldest and the newest coins would have had equal value.

Note that imprisonment was not intended as a form of punishment, but merely to restrain the culprit from flight both before the trial, and afterwards until the fine had been paid.
The penalties are given in denarii (singular: denarius), a silver Roman coin which was of variable value.
In theory, the weight of 40 silver denarii should be equivalent in value to the weight of one gold solidus, but in practise this was not always the case.

 Babylonian Talmud: Baba Mezi'a 62
if the debtor has wine, which he gives him against the thirty denarii, he [the creditor] merely receives provisions from him, and there is no objection; but, if not, since he has no wine, to receive money certainly smacks of usury.
I.e., 25 denarii, so that the debtor has to make, in addition to the gold denar which he received in cash, a return for their remaining five denarii, — a total of 30 denarii.
For the debtor actually received only 25 denarii, which the creditor paid him in cash for the wheat, whilst he repaid him 30 denarii.

These enigmatic little pieces belong to a group of coins referred to as limes denarii, limes falsa or AE denarii.
With my theory, these AE pieces could, if a soldier returned to a main part of the empire in retirement or if an area was forfeited, could in turn be redeemed for equivalent AR denarii, just as US soldiers used scrip during foreign wars.
Designed to be tariffed at two denarii, it was of good silver, but physically weighed less than two silver denarii.
