I HAD READ A FORMULA FOR IT SOMEWHERE A FEW YEARS AGO BUT UNFORTUNATELY DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS NOW OR WHERE I SAW IT.
IT USED OLD COINS AND GAVE THE DENOMINATINS OF THE GOLD COINS AND SILVER COINS AND THE NUMBERS TO BE MELTED DOWN TO FORM SWASSA. I THINK THE COINS WERE DUTCH, IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO FIND OUT THE WEIGHT AND PURITY OF THE COINS USED AND THEN USE GOLD AND SILVER INSTEAD OF OLD COINS AS IT WAS DONE IN THE PAST WHEN THE COINS WERE READILY AVAILABLE. IF I RUN ACROSS IT IN THE FUTURE AGAIN I WILL LET YOU KNOW, PERHAPS SOMEONE ELSE MAY REMEMBER AS I DID SHARE THE INFO WITH SOME.GOOD LUCK
