[edit] Gold staters?

The article states that gold staters were only an accounting unit, not minted as coins. If so, does somebody know why the value was variable from city to city, rather than conventional and panhellenic?

Also, the article on Cyzicus (history section) states that the gold staters of that city ware a staple currency until Macedonia came into global power in the mid 4th century... how is that possible if the coins were not actually minted? --Svartalf 18:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

How big is it, how heavy is it? Seems like pretty important information for what is the biggest ---OOPSIE- 13:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
