    The Miser
    When my father bought the Post Office and he was putting a new floor be hind the counter we used to find money where he was hidden I have two of the old coins on one of them there is a harp and a crown on it and it is dated 1805 and on the other side there is a King's head and in writing is Georgius III D:G Rex: Which shows that it must have been minted in England.
    The other is a French Coin and it is a head and Napoleon III Emperor 1854. It seems that the man that owned it was in France and he hid it so that nobody would find it.
