Known as the Traveller Collection, it includes coins from over 100 regions, spanning ancient to modern times, CNN reported last week.

Yikes! If you're going to bury something, tell a trusted family member where it is.

The original collector has not been identified. What are the odds this is FDR's private stash?

The pair eventually settled in Europe, despite the dark shadow that Hitler’s Nazi party was casting over the continent. The collector must have felt the imminent threat, however, as the coins were packed carefully into cigar boxes that were then transferred into aluminum boxes and buried underground - where they remained for five decades.
