Absolutely not, they did not know 87 years in advance that Christ was going to be born.
No. The concept of BC (Before Christ) as used in dates, only became relevant after the birth of Christ.
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
The year 87BC, as with any year between 100BC and 1BC, fell in the first century BC.
Nothing, since no coins were noted down in BC.
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.
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?
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.

29 March 87 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.
I have a coin with "II MARIE GROS:" dated 1694. Talk to me!
