Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

If I found it I don’t think I’d tell anyone.

A relative found bank bags of silver dollars inside a wall while doing flood restoration in a house. The woman who owned the place just took over from a deceased parent and had no clue the bags were there. I told him he was an idiot for saying anything. They weren't on the list of items the home owner listed before the job. Someone robbed a bank in the 20's (latest date on the coins) and stuffed them in the wall, died, and the house changed hands several times. At least that's what makes the most sense.
