Exchange Rates for GOLD  Coins:
  [7, 8]        Senine = 2 seon = measure-barley = measure-any-grain
  [8, 9]        Seon    = ½ senine = 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
   [9]         shum = 2 seon
[16, 17]       shiblum = 2 leah = 1/2 shiblon
[15, 16, 19]  1 shiblon = ½ senum = ½ (measure-barley) = 2 shiblum = 1/3 shiblon... here the Book of Mormon proves that  1 shiblon = 1/3 shiblon!

The Numerical Elegance of the Nephite System:  The Mathematics of the Lamanites, As Far As It Is Translated Correctly .   It is pointed out that at one time it was possible to get 1/3 shiblon as change for 1 shiblon and vice versa. Some Lamanites (early Mormons) got very rich by applying Alma 11, [15, 16, 19] and then repeating the process.  Some others, unfortunately became very poor.   In the end, the shiblons you make aren't equal to the shiblon you take.

The Inspired text of the Book of Mormon (BOM) has many versions.  See chapter "Nephite Coinage Set Forth" in the chapter  Alma of the BOM in its1981 edition.  However, the BOM is correct, as far as it is translated correctly.  See en.fairmormon.org/Book_of_Mormon_anachronisms:Coins

-  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.
*  "And a limnah of gold was the value of them all." (stated in Alma, of the Book of Mormon)
*  "And an onti was as great as them all". -- Some Mormon Scholars have communicated to Translated-correctly.com that these Almic references indicate that limnas 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.

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

Newly discovered Mormon archeological evidence (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 = 2002 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
copper and brass coins.  Copper, silver and zinc mines (Brass is a mixture of copper an zinc) and smelters were present in abundance in pre-Colombian America.

* 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.

What is a mina of gold; a mina of silver?
