When were ancient greek coins discovered?

Beginning around 600 BC, each Greek city-state minted (made) its own kinds of coins (They seem to have gotten the idea from the Lydians in West Asia). A lot of the Greek coins were silver. They were made by taking a small lump of silver and putting it on an iron mold, and then striking it with a hammer that had another kind of mold in it. That way you could squash a picture into both sides at the same time.
