Trove Of WWII-Era Cash Worth $2 Million Found Under Shop Floorboards

Construction workers digging under the floor of a shop in Brighton, England last month found a cash hoard dating back to World War II that’s worth about $2 million today. Authorities have since taken the money for safekeeping in hopes of finding its rightful owner.

But who that might be remains a mystery. When he first saw the cash, the worker who found it imagined that it could have come from a bank robbery or been the stash of someone who later died during the war.
