Believe It, Or Not A New York banker has figured out that if six copper coins recently unearthed, bearing the date of 600 yars B C, had been placed at com pound interest since coined, the re turns would have been immense. How much? Well, it's past the power of comprehension. The Am erican value of these coins was only 6 cents, yet they would have earned at compound interest during the past 2,500 years a ball of gold 62 times as large as this earth, so the New Yoker says.
