[edit] Plagiarism . . . ?

There is a TON of this page which shares common text with this site: http://www.gmmnut.com/gmm/sca/florin.html

And I do not see it credited, anywhere.

The only original text in the entire article is as follows:

"It had 54 grains of gold (3.5g)."

"As many Florentine banks were international supercompanies with branches across Europe..."

"(whose mines can be found in today's Slovakia and Romania)"

"...many resembling the Virgin Mary."

Deltabourne is the only contributor of this material (though, granted, it does not have a copyright).
-edited for clarity: Deltabourne is the only contributer of the plagiarized material-

There remains a chance that the website plagiarized this article, however this seems unlikely, as there is much more information on the web page than in this article.
