Strip of three Roman bronze coins (asses). Roman, around 90 BC. - Ancient mints was severely limited in its output by the technology available. Because of this, the mints were often unable to produce enough low-value bronze coins, which were needed in larger quantities than the more valuable silver or gold coins. To speed up the process, coin blanks were sometimes cast in strips, like this rare example, and then struck in quick succession, before being separated into individual coins.
