An intriguing coin deposited into a bus driver's till in England in the 1950s turned out to have ancient origins: It was minted 2,000 years ago in what is now southern Spain. Now, more than 70 years later, the grandson of the former transport cashier has donated the mysteriously acquired coin to a museum.
The cashier, James Edwards, worked for Leeds City Transport and was tasked with gathering and counting fares from bus and tram drivers. Whenever he discovered fake or foreign coins, he would bring them home for his grandson, Peter.
