Title: 1795 Time Capsule Contained Alternative Currency To Combat British Rule Post by: flyup on January 09, 2015, 04:40:10 PM The time capsule recently opened in Boston:
"One of the coins in the box, a Pine Tree Shilling, was minted in 1652 for the use of Massachusetts’ colonists, without the knowledge of the British monarchy." http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/2015/01/06/history_of_time_capsules_boston_statehouse_time_capsule_opening.html (http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/2015/01/06/history_of_time_capsules_boston_statehouse_time_capsule_opening.html) What seems new is really old- because it worked the first time.
