In Morez, France, relatives of a deceased family sold their old house to the town hall. While clearing the property, workers found jam jars full of gold bars and coins worth US$728,000/CA$880,000. “There had been several generations who didn’t throw anything away, kept everything and lived really frugally. I agreed we’d buy the property as it was and we’d gradually empty its contents ourselves,” said the mayor of Morez. The gold will be used for a special project for the whole town.
