Ever bury a cache of coins for someone to find in the future?

[NicktheMainer]

I think burying a cache of coins, whether they're modern or old, for a future generation to find would be cool. You could put a note in it or something that leads to another cache. It would be an interesting idea.

That's true haha. But it wouldn't phase me to leave a plastic bottle of clad change in the ground.

What part of Maine you from Nick? Give me a head start on the cache your burying.

P.S. Capped busts are my favorite.

Not till someone buries a cash of coins in the Past for
me to Find in the Present.

Although I'm tempted to bury 10,000 Rotted
Zinclons in a hole in the middle of a Park
one day, if I Can't get the Mint
to Buy them

Think it would be a great idea. Like putting a note in a bottle and throwing it into the ocean. I'd put my email address and ask that they tell you when it is found.

Unless you put it in an area where it may not be found for a hundred years or so, then they may not use emails. I'd definatly put my full name and why i buried it.

only problem is if you fill it with today's modern coins they will rot to nothing because of the new materials used to make coins today. not like before when coins were copper silver and gold which don't rot in the ground, but i have sold 1000's of roman coins on ebay and the garbage worn broken cull coins that i wouldn't sell i have thrown in the back yard to confuse future archaeologists
