I’ve got a 4 bill, uncut sheet of $2 bills from the treasury from 1980. Somewhere. ;-) Worth anything?

SunkenCiv -- Among the discovered coins I heard has a portrait of a hitherto unknown Roman Emperor, Triumphius Maximus... Another coin -- in remarkable condition -- was found of his wife. This coin suggests that stiletto high heels were fashionable in the rein of Emperor Triumphius.

Hmm, thanks, I’ll have to check, think I know where it is. For some reason, ‘29 stuck in my head. 35 years ago I was using it to play Quarters, enjoyed the distinctive sound.

Are you related to Joe Biden?

Triumphius Maximus Derangement Syndrome was the real reason the Roman Empire collapsed.

"Anyone can find coins in a farm field. All you do is drag a plow around and the coins pop up out of the ground."
To: treetopsandroofs
On occasion I see a worn nickel from the 1940s and keep it around for a while. When I was a kid silver dimes used to pop up in circulation, and my folks saved silver dollars that passed into their hands as a savings cache to buy stuff our family lacked (we wuz poor).
If I had the wherewithall, I'd probably have a small collection of ancient coins, like any of the pre-Roman medusa head silver coins from around the Mediterranean, or rare oddities, like one of the dozen or so Sejanus coins known to have survived his damnatio memoriae.

Somewhere around here there's a ceramic (? my memory isn't what it used to be) 'piggy' bank that obviously has coins in, and I was told had belonged to the grandmother of mine I never got to meet. I carefully worked the coins out through the slot and was struck by, number one, the wild variety (the one that I recall offhand was some early 19th c king of somewhere in Europe, obviously I don't recall that much) and the complete lack of condition of the coins. Grandma's family had a business, I'm guessing these were oddball coins that came in trade.

That explains why everyone is dying to be a farmer. ;^)

Worse yet were the Visigoths, but at least you could see 'em comin'. The Invisigoths were the worst of all.
