+Hacksilver consists of fragments of cut and bent silver items that were used as bullion or as currency by weight during the Middle Ages.  Hacksilver was common among the [[viking|Vikings]], as a result of both their raiding and trade.  Hoards may typically include a mixture of hacksilver, coins, ingots and complete small pieces of jewelry.
