TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 1:21 pm Rather than link to a webpage full of cookies and advertisements, I thought I'd just copy and paste the first paragraph and one of the pictures. Quote: They say money doesn't grow on trees. But it certainly appears to do so on the mysterious coin-studded trunks dotted around the UK's woodland. The strange phenomenon of gnarled old trees with coins embedded all over their bark has been spotted on trails from the Peak District to the Scottish Highlands. Here's a couple videos too: -c---qgR9eo nV5HsQBNvIk Most would grade *"Environmental Damage" "Corroded" and* "Bent"** Report this Post to the Staff

Coopertron5000 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 516 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 1:34 pm I found a load of trees just like this in a Forrest near me. I never found out the reasoning behind it but was fascinating to look at. Alot of foreign coins aswell, presumably from holiday makers. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 7:46 pm Thanks for posting @TNG. I was in Scotland recently, but did not see this sort of thing. Stone rings yes, but coin trees? Nope. This is a good reason to go back.
