"Workers dug out about 4 tons of ancient coins Monday in Huaxian, Shaanxi province. Some authorities said that the coins may be from the Song Dynasty (960-1279), and according to the characters on the coins they may have been made sometime in 1102 to 1106".


4 tons Does an MD just go into meltdown phase at that point?

The worst part is that counterfeits of those coins will start showing up on eBay within a week....

i should have said the biggest hoard of coins discovered on land!!!! I didn't know you could have a hoard cache in the water!!!

and if you had to convert that cache into usable money, you'd probably have about 150.00
