No.
The concept of BC (Before Christ) as used in dates, only became relevant after the birth of Christ.
Absolutely not, they did not know 87 years in advance that Christ was going to be born.
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?
The Lydians invented the coin around 500 BC
No such coin would exist or could exist. BC and AD were only used in AD because of the fact that no one knew 600 years before Christ that Christ would be born in 600 years. Before Christ's birth, years were counted by how long a monarch had reigned. For example, something might have taken place in the 4th year of King ____'s reign.
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.
Nothing, since no coins were noted down in BC.
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.
What makes it fake is the date, the BC part.Because if the coin was really made in 55 BC, then Jesus Christ wasn't born yet. Then how could they say that they made it 55 years before Christ was born when they didn't know when he was going to be born?
Absolutely not, they did not know 87 years in advance that Christ was going to be born.
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.

They ARE still used in 46 BC

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.
