Gold Coins ???

[old man]

I've recently been told that Gold Coins have been found at the Lantana Beach in Florida over the years after storms. Anyone know of the dates or Nationality of any coins found off the Beach at Lantana, Florida??

If this is true, I would imagine the coins came from a wreck off the Beach.

Thanks Guys. I thought maybe there was a new beach to metal detect. I guess not.

A gold con is a coin mostly or entirely of gold. In modern times, most gold coins are intended either to be sold to collectors, or to be used as bullion coins. Coins whose nominal value is irrelevant and which serve primarily as a method of investing in gold. Gold has been used as money for many reasons. It is fungible, with a low spread between the prices to buy and sell. Gold is also easily transportable, as it has a high value to weight ratio, compared to other commodities, such as silver.

Thanks for that information. I had no idea as an armchair reader of this forum.
