Did you know the phrase 'making money hand over fist' comes from ancient Roman times when coin makers would cut round pieces of silver and then imprint the Emperor's face by using a iron stamp.
They would hold the stamp with their 'hand' and then hit the stamp with a hammer held in their fist, thus giving the phrase about 'making money'
This of course shouldn't be confused with the modern day phrase of 'making money by handing over assets' which comes from PMG's involvement with Cardiff City since 2006.
