I had an accident and lost all my data, incl back-up!
I read somewhere about a coin in northern america, that was found during a dino-dig and they, some university, found a coin in a 140.000B.C layer...
Have you heard about this or know where, in what book, please mail me on:
jalkenburg@excite.com

thank you
Jessica

don't know if this is what you were looking for...
coin-like object

Sorry, I've never heard of this either. I did one time see a show on Discovery about a Roman coin that was found in a farm in the midwest United States though. If I come across anything I'll post it here.

well of course it is in a book called "forbidden archeology" found by regular people, not verified by a professional, some were even found in the 1800's. i just dont trust anything that book has to say. no one should.

thanks for the link milo, Ive been searching for a pic of that coin for ages!

Unfortunately, the link didn't work, but copper occurs in nature as a natural metal, as gold, and either could be pounded into a round flat decorative lump by early hominids, much easier in fact than fashioning flint tools.

As for the Roman coin in america, this is no big deal, many European artifacts have been found, the most impressive, of course, is the complete Roman ship of the coast near Buenos Aries.

THANK YOU!!! yes it was this coin that I "lost" so thank you again!!

Intersting, but I doubt any of it is true. I will have to research this some more tho.

id does beg the question: were these soft sediments or lithified rock? i know i've buried a box of pennies once or twice in my youth.
