In 1957 a European silver coin dating to the eleventh century was discovered at a Native American archaeological site in the state of Maine in the United States. Many people believed the coin had been originally brought to North America by European explor

The passage and the listening are discussing about the ability of European silver coin to be a historical evidence. The reading thinks that the coin from European Norse is fake. The reading believes that the coin is sufficient to have historical meaning and a genuine one.

To begin with, the author of the reading suggests the distance between the settle of Norse in North America is far from the documenting place; two places are far from each other. However, the listening opposes on what the reading believes. The tutor claims that the distance is not the problem since the Norse were able to approach to the place were they found the coin. Furthermore, these people brought the coin from the Europe.

Secondly, the text treats the fact that there is no more coins except one coin that had found. According to the passage, if the coin is really from Europe, there is no reason not to be found. Differently with the reading, she remarks that because the vikings needed to go back to their place, they brought their valuable things including their coins. Moreover, as much as they used the coins in real, there is no reason not to pack up the coins.

Finally, the writer of the article brings the question that how they used the coin in North America? Thus, the coin is not genuine. But, as following the listening, the Americans were interested in unusual objects. In addition, coins were able to use for trades as odd products not as the money.
