A rare hoard of 2,000 year-old gold coins have been found in a farmer's field near Chiddingstone (England)

The coins are thought to date from around 50 or 60 BC and would probably been used as gifts to pay or bribe mercenaries fighting with the Gauls against Julius Caesar.

I'm not sure why that site has the new coins playing in the story ... but if you read the article, they're old gold, with pics.
