Did people have better eyesight in medieval times?

[SidS]

Edward VI's reign saw the final issue of silver farthings. They were even smaller than the medieval ones. I can't help wondering how many were lost before they even left the mint! Or at the very least went astray during delivery. It'd be all too easy to not notice one in the corner of a mint sack and God help them if it had even the tiniest of holes!

Look at those tiny coins... 😄 keep in mind now, that in the 1800s, the average weight of a man was roughly 60-65 kilos.

Out of the context question. 
 

Would you be rather blind or deaf. 
 

me ..deaf. I’m 1/2 way already. Loading music totally would be terrible though. We already use sign in our house so lesser of two evils.
