Crazy incident in Greece: He took his gold coins to the grave!

Crazy incident in Greece: He took his gold coins to the grave!

There is a proverb in Greece, which says that "you can't take your money with you, when you die", but in that case that proverb doesn't count.


It all happened a few days ago, in a village located in the boundaries of Achaia and Ilia prefecture in the Peloponnese, Greece. When a family had to remove the body of an old man from his grave, it came about an unprecedented sight.

Besides the old man's bones, who had passed away five years ago, his family found gold coins. Apparently, the deceased had swallowed the coins before dying and they were in his stomach when he was buried. The family's rather sad event of unburying their loved grandfather was followed by astonishment and wealth.
