In November, an inspiring story of honesty came out of South Carolina in the U.S. where a couple discovered literal treasure trove hidden in their new home in the form of 50 gold and silver coins. They returned the collection—worth around $15,000—to the home’s previous owners, who observed ‘If there were more people like the Munfords, this world would be a much better place.’
In December, a David Bowie commemorative coin was launched into space by Britain’s Royal Mint. Celebrating the singer’s first hit single, Space Oddity, which was released in the UK five days before Apollo 11 launched in July 1969, the coin was carried by balloon to an altitude of 35,656 metres before descending back to Britain.
