		The standard gold coin, the "dollar of the Middle Ages," had been the Roman solidus, which was minted without debasement from the days of Constantine until the reign of the Emperor Michael IV, in Constantinople, in the 11th century.
		Athough Charlemagne's obolus was soon forgotten, the denarius long survived, as the denier in France until the French Revolution, and as the penny in England until, of all things, 1970.
