They buried them because taxes were confiscatory and treasury bills were yielding 0%.

Hey, wait a minute.....

In England, the coins found on private property, now belong to the state. In America, you find old forgotten buried coins inyour field, You own them.

Just *another* reason why.

Never give up our guns.

"They buried them to keep them safe because there were no banks," she said.

Nonsense. The Romans had an extensive banking system. If the former owner were a soldier, well, the Legions had their own arrangements with banks to help soldiers save money for retirement.

There is another reason why the money may have been buried. Perhaps it was stolen, and the thief was hiding his stash.
