Any coins with "BC" in the date are FAKE, FAKE.
If you think about it for a minute,
(A) How would any normal mortal know that Jesus was destined to be born some 30 years in the future?
(B) How would someone from over 2000 years ago know the English abbreviation "BC" when English didn't develop as a language until the Middle Ages?
(C) How could it be dated with modern numerals that weren't invented until the early Renaissance period?
There is no actual physical coin that is dated 24 BC. Coins from that time period are considered valuable to collectors and can fetch high prices at auctions and in the antiquities market.
nothing because nobody knew it was b.c. someone is playing a trick on you

It means it's a fake!!!! How would anyone who lived before the birth of Jesus know how many years it would be till He was born? And how could they have spoken English to use the abbreviation "BC" (before Christ) on a coin?
No. The concept of BC (Before Christ) as used in dates, only became relevant after the birth of Christ.
If the coin is dated "4 BC" it's a big-time fake. "BC" means "Before Christ" so no one would have known beforehand about Jesus to date a coin based on his birth.
Absolutely not, they did not know 87 years in advance that Christ was going to be born.
It is important to verify the authenticity of the coins and the dating method used by the archaeologist. Gold coins from 46 BC could be historically significant and valuable, but further research and expert assessment would be needed to confirm their origin and age.
A forgery. No coin could be marked 55 BC, no one knew that the key event that the modern calendar was based on was going to happen before it actually happened.
You only need to about it for a second, not even a minute! "BC" means "before Christ". Unless the coinmaker was (a) also a great religious figure who knew exactly when Jesus was going to be born 3 generations in the future and (b) spoke English so he knew what "BC" meant, he would have dated the coin based whatever calendar was in use at that time. One word: FAKE, FAKE, FAKE.

Any coin with a "BC" date on it is a counterfeit. The common western calendar with dates expressed as "AD" and "BC" didn't come into use until many hundreds of years after Jesus was born.
