Archaeologists have unearthed more than two million copper coins from an ancient complex of tombs in the Xinjian District of China. The 2,000-year-old money, which bears Chinese symbols, characters, and a square hole in the centre, was found at a dig site in the city of Nanchang. The value of the coins is said to be around £104,000 ($157,340) and experts believe the main tomb is that of Liu He - the grandson of Emperor Wu, the greatest ruler of Han Dynasty.
