Rare 2,200-year-old gold coin found in Israel.

CNN writes that a combined university research team in Israel discovered the coin embedded in a stone wall “separating the northwest storeroom of the Hellenistic administrative building from a room currently identified as a kitchen.”

I found the article interesting for two reasons. The first one, obviously, is related to the value of the discovery. The second reason is that with all those Jewish people living there, I’m surprised it took them over two thousand years to find it.

Oh snap, see what I did there?
