Thanks, IPostapyuk. It looks like Aramaic is responsible for giving birth to Old Hebrew. I agree that Abraham didn't forget his language.
Here is the link where they sell coins that claim to be from first century AD.

The problem is these coins are inscribed in Hebrew. Not Aramaic. So I believe these coins were made during Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 AD) since it was Bar Kokhba who wanted to restore Hebrew as the spoken language of Jews instead of Aramaic.
