With the collapse of the mighty rebellion of the Jews against Rome under the false messiah Shimon bar-Kokhba, lived cAD 70-135, rebellion consummated in a flurry 132-135 AD ...many very diehard Jews tried to escape into remote lands, and millions of Jews were murdered just as in the early years of the rebellion they had murdered millions of Gentiles.
The coins of Bar-Kokhba were considered unclean and Jews were ordered to destroy them, and the Temple he established is not counted, ie the Second Temple was destroyed in AD 70, but the one to come soon is the Third Temple, not the Fourth, since Bar-Kokhba is not in good odour even yet.
Anyway, as a result, more than half of the Bar Kokhba coins found in the world have been found in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia. These people probably fled Jerusalem and Betar so early, that they never learned of the rabbinical orders to destroy them.
The pioneer American Scots-Irish farmers who found the coins could hardly have faked them; a few diehards did come here.

Thanks! That's very interesting.
Deep thanks for this post. It adds another building block in the wall of truth which is being set up by Yahweh to bring the "missing tribes" (to whom Jesus sent the apostles) to the awareness of who and where they are.
