    Think they should've used a pic of scrooge mcduck diving into his pile of gold coins... would've gone over better.

    That's just dumb. I've seen articles use stock photos before, but never with modern junk like that. Very lazy. :rolleyes:

    His name is Tim Newcomb, journalist for popular mechanics. Not even qualified to do this article. Do you think? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I believe the large one near the upper center, with the eagle is not pure gold but is possibly an ancient Lydian electrum "Quarter Dollar," possibly issued by king Ignoramus.
