   What I took treasure to mean, was ancient treasure.   
      
   When the last coin is dated about 1950? It's more   
   like a heirloom to me.   
      
   Why does a museum need modern sovereigns? Let   
   them buy them on ebay like everyone else.   
      
   Sounds like someone just likes making the tax payer cough up.
