  THROWING COINS AWAY
  

  Regarding the question about museums discarding ancient
  coins, Bob Leonard writes: "When I was researching cut
  bronze coins in the ancient Near East in August 1991, I
  contacted Dr. Brooks Levy at Princeton to obtain casts of
  Waage, Antioch On-The-Orontes IV, Part Two: Greek,
  Roman, Byzantine and Crusaders' Coins (Princeton, 1952)
  nos. 360 and 361, groups of halved bronze coins of Roman
  Antioch. I was told that these coins--which should have
  been preserved with the other finds--could not be located
  and had apparently been discarded. While these were
  fragments of coins, and corroded as well, it was a great loss
  to scholarship that they were not properly conserved and
  retained."
