no thats because...
like the one said before, when a word is an adjective and not part of the tittle then u dont capitilize it. Words such as "the" will be capitilze but not always. Some words the use "the" and it is capitilize are like " The Eiffel Tower",'The great pyramids". Also like others said there is a comma after recently.
Hope this helps.

No. Greek is a proper noun and must be capitalized. Ancient is an adjective describing the coins (like Greek), but it does not have to be capitalized, it is not a proper noun.

No because ancient is an adjective telling what kind of Greek coin. So it should be ancient Greek coins.

Gold Dragon and Crazy are both right. Greek is the only proper noun and the only word that needs to be capitalized (other than the beginning of the sentence).

it depends on how you use it.
if you are using it like the "White House" (the one in DC)
then ancient is capitalized. (Ancient Greek)
but since you are using it as an adjective
(for describing greek coins as "ancient"),
then no..don't capitalize it
