When I was a kid I read a story - possibly Encyclopedia Brown? - wherein a counterfeiter got caught trying to sell a counterfeit coin labeled “50 B.C.” or similar. They got caught because the coin manufacturer wouldn’t have known it was B.C.
Lemmy has unlocked a lot of childhood memories I didn’t know I had and this is one of them.
