So an Edward I penny had an equivalent worth of about £63 in labour in AD 1270. Bet they were miffed at losing them then, especially purse losses!

Amsterdam drained a canal.........
Amsterdam drained a canal and put everything they found online, organized by time from AD 1300 to the present day... from pokemon tokens, to pipes, to guns, to human bones. Fascinating!
