This is extraordinary! It just goes to show that true treasures can be found anywhere, not just in the ground. It's awfully hard to know to search an old piano though!

Relatively modern coins by their standards stashed in a piano and the British government declares them treasure trove AKA they get to keep them and pay the finder a so called finders fee.. can you say theft
