Archaeologists in Japan have unearthed a massive stash of about 100,000 coins in Maebashi, a city about 60 miles (100 kilometers) northwest of Tokyo.
The hoard was found during excavations ahead of the construction of a factory, reported The Asahi Shimbun, a newspaper in Japan. Only 334 of the coins have been examined so far, with the oldest one originating from China and dating to 175 B.C. and the most recent coin dating to A.D. 1265, the newspaper reported.
100,000 centuries old is really old
That’s like a hundred hundreds!
Was excited for a second because I thought it was 100,000 centuries old and not 100,000 centuries-old coins :(
Thatd be nuts since modern humans havent even existed that long ago.
Until now
Good luck with the Coinstar machine.

Damn… I bet they would be worth a lot if they were rare. But now there’s 100,000 of them.
