"A rich and extraordinary hoard that includes jewelry and silver and gold coins from the Roman period was recently exposed in a salvage excavation in the vicinity of Qiryat Gat. The treasure trove comprising some 140 gold and silver coins together with gold jewelry was probably hidden by a wealthy lady at a time of impending danger during the Bar Kokhba Revolt."

Let's see; silver and gold where a valuable store of wealth twenty centuries ago; silver and gold are a valuable store of wealth today.

Will the same be said about Federal Reserve notes twenty centuries in the future?

Those coins still hold real value today. Had they been paper ... not so much.
