Yet they lasted 200 years after the end of this chart. It's Eastern wing lasted 1200 more years with the same silver problems. Egypt was over 2500 years old when the first silver coins were minted. Biggest pyramids were built without silver or even a concept of money. So? What silver got to do with anything?
