A Collection of Coins Found on Outer Banks Beaches Over the Course of 70 Years

The collection would be interesting to see.

"The collection includes coins from China, Ecuador, England, France, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the United States. Even long-gone civilizations like the Byzantine Empire are represented in the historically significant treasure trove...Experts believe that the vast array of coins is likely tied to the number of shipwrecks off the state's coast."

    Here is a picture of some of the coins, some quite modern:

    Two of the coins appear to be Columbian Exposition 1892-1893 commemorative half dollars.

    I found a corroded Roosevelt dime in a parking lot last Thursday. Do you think I should start a museum to display it? :)

    All glory is fleeting.

    No, just post it in the US Coin section and ask if it's an error >:)
