Default The More Things Change...

I was at a museum this weekend, and saw an exhibit of a matched set of metal plates inscribed with writing, bound together with wire. It was used by retired soldiers to claim their monthly pension payments. Basically a 2000 year old Roman DD214. Probably didn't have direct deposit though.
