AMMUNITION ROUND FILLED WITH MONEYArthur Shippee passed along this New York Post article about an unusual find of coins and paper money. -Editor 
A Michigan family made a bombshell discovery this weekend when they discovered a non-live WWI-era ammunition round was filled with treasure. The family was cleaning out its house when they came across what they believed to be a live ammunition round and contacted authorities, Michigan State Police said on Twitter. 
Cops from the Michigan State Police Bomb Squad conducted an X-ray of the military relic, and ultimately determined that the round was not live. Instead, it was discovered that the shell contained a hidden trove of antique coins and bills dating from the 1800s and early 1900s.
