People used to bite coins to test their authenticity, as gold and silver coins would produce a distinct sound and mark when bitten. The practice was based on the belief that a genuine coin would be softer than a counterfeit made from harder metals. Additionally, biting coins was a practical way to assess their value and ensure they were not merely plated or forged. This method, however, was not foolproof, as some counterfeits could also mimic the characteristics of real coins.
