Accidently discovered 3,422 ancient bronze coins

While surveying land to create an underwater tourist itinerary, Italian archeologists accidentally discovered a stash of 3,422 ancient bronze coins chilling off the shallow coast of Pantelleria, a small island about 70 miles south of Sicily.

The coins, which archeologists believe date back to between 264 and 241 B.C., are thought to have been purposefully left there by a Carthaginian ship on its way to Sicily to support an anti-Roman movement of some sort.

For one reason or another, they decided to hide the coins 68 feet below the surface. Unfortunately, they never got around to picking them back up. Whoops.

It's hard to put a value on antiquities like this, but since they're so rare we put it in the ball park of around $5,000 each.

Cash For Your Structured Settlement

Sometimes when a plaintiff settles a case for a large sum of money, the defendant, the plaintiff's attorney , or a financial planner consulted in association with the settlement, will propose paying the settlement in installments over time rather than in a single lump sum. When a settlement is paid in this manner it is called a " structured settlement ". There are some settlement purchasing companies who are interested in paying the individual a lump sum amount for receiving the rights to receive a structured settlement; the lump sum amount offered is a discounted amount. The individual who gets the lump sum amount can use this amount for buying a house or automobile or pay for schooling etc. Under normal circumstances the payment would be done on the fixed intervals agreed to between the two parties and the individual would not be able to purchase items such as house, car etc. The recipient of a settlement may have his own reasons for considering cas...
