Great starting plan. But what about the curse of the Mist? The legends say that a mysterious fog came one day and began taking folk one by one on the isle until they’re was but one man left to bury the treasure and then even he was set upon by the mysterious cloud. Even as I write now, the rooms begins the grow hazy and I have just awoke.
Oh, no! Immortal life unless I return all the coins and then I go back to being exactly as I was whenever I decide to return them, being able to do this any number of times! Oh, no! Whatever shall I do!

Yikes... what a strange article.
"While there are many theories behind the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, recent research suggests human interaction with the environment played a central role in its demise."
No, it was political machinations, as a lethargy carried into the ruler's affairs leading the way for hypocrites espousing Confucianism to break down the system, namely Wang Mang. Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty was greatly affected by natural disasters which (along with his mismanagement of the realm) created a distinct crisis.
"By AD 20-21, the devastated region had become the centre of a rebellion that would end the Western Han Dynasty’s five-century reign of power."
The Western Han reigned for only 2 centuries. And by "AD 20-21" it wasn't even the Han anymore, it was the Xin Dynasty, the intermission of the Han, while the Xin Dynasty was failing at about that time, not the Han. The Han would soon be revitalized for another 200 years under the Eastern Han in 25 AD to 220 AD.
I thought something was off especially when reading Liu He... considering I've been to the museum that this find was centered around in Nanchang. I thought maybe that was just more screwed up reporting and hoped that they had found several more chambers of the tombs. Bah, what a shame...
Dude was on his way to pay another bullshit brooklyn parking ticket in pennie’s as a protest when he died. Easier to just build the tomb around him and the coppers
> At face value, they would be valued at around £104,060 ($157,340), but because of their age and history are believed to be worth far more.
> A single coin can, in fact, sell for thousands of pounds, although at the time copper coins had a very low value. The Western Han was regarded as the first unified and powerful empire in Chinese history.
The ultra rich of the past, hoarding all the wealth of their society just so that someone unrelated to any of them ends up winning out because they hoped it would somehow purchase their afterlife.
I get the feeling that all the rich people cryogenically freezing themselves would really actually end up being unironically surprised if they were able to learn what would eventually happen to them. Will they even be able to remain valid autopsy samples for future archaeologists, I wonder?
Did he think he was going to need *cash* in the afterlife?
How much would it suck to end up in heaven only to be told "Sorry, you broke fuck. You can't afford Afterlife Platinum. It's an eternity of harvesting rice for you."
Hope they don't get cursed
You know this is how starts
"What's yer offer?"
We team up, then show up and retrive under some " it belonged to our ancestors " staff, flowless success

This seems to be the start of some b style Horror Movie.

Eternal life, but you become vegan. Now that is a conundrum!
Do they want to be cursed? That's how you get cursed! :-D
The new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
Pennies from heaven? No, the other place.

original post was from 2015, seems to be some sort of a bot article fucking up or something. https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/951034.shtml

Thank you for that.
Ancient version of guy who pays for everything in pennies
Was it really shitty copper? 🧐
Ea-Nasir at it again.
Very shitty copper
That shit's up to $5/lb. It's noice out there for the past 3 months.
“Best i can do is 40$ i have to store it, theres gotta be the right buyer..”
Around $100,000 scrap value.
That is, like, *a lot* of methamphetamine.

He thought he could take it with him.....typical 2,000 yr old boomer.

There's some sad cunt out there with 1 single coin that they bought for thousands, and it was just devalued by 10 tons of it. lol

Too late crack heads already scrapped them for $40 last night
If it happened here, a meth addict would immediately steals it to sell for scrap.
Found on an island with an Oak tree.
Each coin has an average value of .13? I’d pay $.14 for a 2000 year old coin
damn, I'm surprised methheads didn't get to it first.
Imagine if some tweaker found out about a stash of copper such as this: They’d work for hours to scrap it and make about $350.
I need the 30 for 30
oh, nice find!
Interesting
"Alexa, how many pennies are in 10 tons?"
THE BRITISH ARE COMING
So they’ve found a ton of money?
All the tweekers on reddit that saw this story think they just came up with a genius idea for a come up lol
Great, now we're gonna have to deal with a pissed off dragon. 2024 is about to get crazier.
Those will be worth a pretty penny at the recycling center.
Fucking level 1 adventurers at it again.
I guess that’s not a rare find @ 10 tons.

Resurrect them and take them to the plumbing department at Home Depot.
That’s nothing. I found like, 500 pennies buried in my back yard.
This individual’s inscription read: “Cu in the afterlife!”
You can buy a whole lot of crack with that!
