So the damaged or discarded copper alloy helmets and other bits were gathered up and recast into something else? Is that your suggestion? 
On the basis of no more evidence than the ease that it would be to accomplish this, I'd be willing to lean that direction. Always easier to recast into coins or new decorative pieces than to dig and smelt the ore.
