Exchange Rates for GOLD Coins:
[7, 8] Senine = 2 seon = measure-barley =
measure-any-grain
[8, 9] Seon
= ½ senine = 1/2 shum
[10] Limnah = 'all'
*
[19] Antion= 3 shiblon
Exchange Rates for SILVER Coins:
[11]
Amnor = 2 senums
[12]
Ezrom = 4 senums
[13] Onti = 'all'
*
Exchange Rates:
[7] Senum = senine = measure-barley =
measure-any-grain
[8] Seon = 2 senine

Shum = 2 seons

. It is pointed out that at one time it was possible
to get 1/3 shiblon as change for 1 shiblon and vice versa.

The Inspired
text of the Book of Mormon (BOM) has
many
versions, translated correctly. See chapter
"Nephite
Coinage Set Forth" in the chapter
Alma
of the BOM in its 1981 edition. However, the BOM is
correct, as far as it is translated correctly.

Modern analysis
shows that Seons of gold are an amalgam of about
66% gold, 32% copper and 2% silver, antimony and
arsenic
(for hardening), with traces of mercury and
miracium92.
* "A Limnah
of gold was the value of them all." (stated in Alma Alma
[11:4-10], of the Book
of Mormon) -- how to make change for a Limnah ?
* "And an
Onti
was as great as them all". -- Some Mormon Scholars have
communicated to Translated-correctly.com
that these Almic references indicate that Limnah s
and ontis
could be exchanged for any and all coins
whatsoever, as well as for a number of day's wages,
and for any measure of barley. |

Newly discovered Mormon
archeological evidence (external link:
The
Plates of Laman) verified the existence of other
Lamanite (early Mormon) coinage:
(1) A
yoni of gold
= 1 day's wages
(2) 144
Ontis of silver = 200 Olys of iron
*
(3) A
Senine of gold and Silver = 202 Senines of Silver
(4) A
Heh-ku-kau-beam of Iron = a measure of Shiblons
*
Archeologists have not yet been able to find the iron
and steel mills in the pre-Colombian Americas. Iron and steel are
mentioned in many places in the Book of Mormon. Many of theses smelters have
been found in all parts of the world, except in the Americas. Copper, silver
and zinc mines and smelters are known to have been present in pre-Colombian
America. Brass is a mixture of copper an
zinc.

Perhaps Joseph Smith, in translating
the Golden Plates took a lesson from another prophet, Mohammed.
Mohammed said in (Sura 4:11-12 and 4:176 Qur'anic inheritance law):
When a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents
and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3
daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to
verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to more than the
available estate. A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his
wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife,
4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up to 15/12 of
the available property. More |

2. HOW DO YOU LOSE A STEEL MILL:
More
about the coins: "...leaving the Mormons to worry about how to make
change for a "Limnah," we note simply that although the ancient
Americans had gold and silver in abundance, they never made coins or
evolved a money economy. They used jade beads, obsidian blades, and
even cacao beans as media of exchange. Never did they mint coins or
create a standardized system of metal money." -- Frank R. Zindler |
