    I mean you joke but it might be a war horde, the Japanese were and are pretty well known for burying horrific collections taken from war that they build temples over.

    Don’t get me wrong it’s not particularly unique to Japan but goddamn did they excel at it.

    Nose temple is a pretty good example.

      That’s fair, I take back the ancient part… but I’ve seen enough films to know those coins are guarded by malevolent spirits bent on revenge.
