    4. A diver found coins at the bottom of the ocean. All the coins were reported to be real except one that was extremely old and very worn, but the date was somewhat visibly marked 325 B.C. Why did he not trust the coin to be authentic?

      Guessing.


      B.C. did not come into being until after Christ. They would not have used B.C. in the marking of the coin since they would not have known of Christ.

        This was a joke/riddle. No controversy.

              They did not use coins in 325 B.C.   They either used real gold to trade, or they bartered.

                Colleen's answer was the correct answer, and the proper deductive reason. Good going girl!

                    i think that it said copy on it and was dropped in the ocean      and the word copy faded away.


                    applying with what colleen said
