You know, something like this would make a good plot for a movie. I remember soldiers actually finding - literally - tons of gold bars, cubic feet of $100 bills, etc. What if some random soldier found that and needed help to smuggle it out of Iraq?

Good idea, but I think you'd need more than one soldier to make it a hit.

There was/is a Federal depository a block or two south of Wall Street. Every once in a while in the nineties one would turn the corner to find pallets of ingots stacked in the street awaiting transport. If there was a security detail larger than two guys with revolvers they were well hidden.
