#14 - International trade goes back thousands of years. It is not uncommon to find artifacts from other countries/continents anywhere there was contact. The coins from Africa likely got to Australia by Chinese sailors from the Song dynasty. Europeans did not start exploring Australia until 1600 or so. In fact, most of the coastline was unknown (by Europeans) as late as 1760. So what exactly is your point?
Roman coins have been found in Britain. Scandinavian coins around the Med. Apparently the point here is "a culture I find superior to my own has stuff in some other place before my own culture did thus proving my belief they are better." Typical American liberal.
Birdie, You are right. The coins are "african" (whatever that means) but it does not prove that they were transfered there by africans. For example, I have a chinese vase in my house and i have never been in China

I don't think so, inverted implies a switching of positions so opposite works better.
