Redundancy?[edit]

The article says "the gold coins . . . had the value of one gold stater each". If they're gold coins, isn't "one gold stater" redundant? If there were different-valued staters, such that a gold stater was worth a different amount from, say, a bronze stater, this should be explained. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:11, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dimensions[edit]

How big were these coins? Size and weight. I can't tell from the pictures and I think such info would help the article. 195.41.191.13 (talk) 15:41, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
