The expansive series of articles deals with a diverse number of incidents about the discovery of coins and other ancient treasures amassed globally, with a profound focus on the United Kingdom. Tales of amateur and professional treasure hunters unearthing hoards of coins dating back to the Norman Conquest and the Viking era are recurrent and often result in the finds being declared as 'national treasures'. These finds include a hoard of 16th- and 17th-century silver coins discovered by a father and son while metal detecting in a Polish forest, seven friends discovering Britain's most valuable treasure, and a wallet of Viking-era treasure discovered on the Isle of Man.
Numerous treasures found range in value up to £4.3 million, indicating an appreciation of these ancient treasures, while the scenario of a Bitcoin investor hiding $2 million worth of treasure in small boxes, and Bhutan's Bitcoin treasure surpassing the $1 billion mark, shows how cryptocurrency is becoming a modern-day treasure. Recognition of these ancient coins’ value in today’s currency is paramount, with mentions of Norman coin hoards becoming England’s most valuable treasure and rare Lincoln pennies worth up to $840,000. Equally compelling is the presence of hunts for treasure like the Treasure Coin Hunt under the EEL Program, Project Skydrop’s second treasure hunt and a Houston-based hunt celebrating the 100th anniversary of National Coin Week. However, not all treasure hunts end happily, as seen in the case of a Florida man accused of stealing Spanish treasure coins estimated over $50,000.
