This kind of money is usually lost at one kind of place...a hoard house.

What’s with the green coins? Are they copper?

Not much chance I will find a viking horde here in Ohio, but there is always Tecumseh’s gold. Its supposed to be around Dayton somewhere.

Ah, real money.

Thousands of years later, these coins are still valuable. Imagine what a horde of dollars will be worth when some archaeologist digs some up a few hundred years from now.

Does “declared treasure” mean the government gets to grab it all?
