  H.M.S. SUSSEX COIN ESTIMATES
  

  Bob Lyall writes: "Headlines in British "quality" newspapers
  suggested there were 1,000,000 coins on the wreck of HMS
  Sussex, wrecked off Gibraltar, and the value of the find
  would be £2,900,000,000 (yes, £2.9 billion or $4 billion).
  Now it doesn't take a great brain to work out the average
  coin "value" is suggested at £2,900 ($4,000) which just goes
  to show how ridiculous the reporting of this wreck has been
  so far!"
