I finsihed giving my Medieval class. In the class I was able to run through some coins. The silver coins improved in hardness after they realized they had to be some 92% silver, not more. Florence had issued gold coins, for easier transport. England worked on pennies and actual silver and gold pieces that had to be weighed. Shillings came by 1500.

It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie

The slides from my talk were on line for the class, as I failed to cover some of the end of the talk. I'll take it down by Friday.
