Okay, I know I said earlier that NBC's Grimm was pretty wired up with Assassin's Creed, but now, rewatching the Coins episode? I begun to feel like it also mixed with a little bit Lord of the Rings - come on, anybody see the similarities? Coins got effect on human and wesen, improving their charisma (the One Ring got similar effects on human); making them unable to separate with the coins (the One Ring too, although maybe not unseparable that quick); Grimms got stronger resistance against the Coins to the point they are viturally immune (Hobbits are more resistance to the effects of One Ring, though they eventually break); the Coins are forged in the Zach-place from Greece, and can only be destroyed at the exact location where it was forged (anyone say "Mount Doom!" yet?). This show got elements of different cultures, which, I think, make it easier for audience to assimilate.

That being said, all I know is that the Ring- sorry. The Coins' origin is unknown, made in Greece, ten of them passed down through centuries alongside different bloody conflicts, wars, muggings, stealings and assassinations. Seven of them were lost in time. The known three came into the possession of Kelly and Reed Burkhardt, the latter was later assassinated. Then Nick found them years later while working on a case, and the rest are history...

It's just... some of the details on the wiki page were too complicated to remember. I think I need a quick, simple rundown on these Coins of Zach-what's-its-name-os.

A little assistance, anyone? Thanks.
