<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3400661, member: 14873&quot;]Wonderful m’lord! An anecdotal story I read while doing some recent research stated that when Protestant Irish soldiers realized that James II had lost the War (he had actually fled the country) they and their families hid their gun money coins, which some of them had a lot of, in their houses in the hope that they could redeem some value from them when peace was restored. That didn’t happen. The reference said that quantities of gun money coins are sometimes discovered whenever very old houses in Ireland are being torn down or renovated. I can’t lay my hands on that reference right now (maybe it occurs in one of the links I provided?) but I will try and locate it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
