Secondly, the professor highlights the fact that it is not necessary that if coins have not found in other places, it could not have come from these people because these people used these coins in their voyages in order to bring back to Europe for other transactions and trades. In contrast, the author claims that not finding any coins in other places cannot lead to the arguing which these coins found there are fake.
Thirdly, although the speaker dismisses the issue due to the fact that Nose used these coins for making jewelry such as necklaces, and it was so useful, the reading states that it was useless for these people.
