U.S. to put Restrictions on Import of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic coins from Libya

2017-12-18 Mon

Libya received import restrictions for different kinds of coins entering the US as per the 1970 UNESCO Convention. The restriction is applied for a five-year period until 30th May 2022. Ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic and Ottoman coins are included in the new rule.

Efforts are being taken by a lawyer to respect both ends. Some experts believe that these restrictions are a result of over-hyped fears of illicit antiquities funding terrorism. There are many other experts who support these restrictions.
