<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1020179, member: 26302&quot;]Christian,</p><p><br /></p><p>I think they were tongue in cheek. There are a lot of US collectors extremely angry with Greece, Italy, and other countries trying to claim ownership of all coins &quot;made&quot; in their country, and demanding they be sent to them. The really bizarre thing about that argument is in most cases the culture demanding them today is not even the same culture that minted them, they just happened to live where they live today. Coins were made to be traded, so you find ancient Roman coins in Sweden, so what country &quot;owns&quot; them? I would say the country they are found in should handle the matter the way they wish. Italy would say that the Roman coin should be confiscated at teh US border and returned to Italy. That is the argument.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is unfortunate the article the OP linked talked about the UK. They have the best treasure law I am aware of in Europe, the author just used the fact they recently found US coins there to write his article. It would have been perfect if they were found in Greece, Italy, Cyprus, or China.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
