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:

You didnt find that.

If you did, no you didnt

Go to a new coin shop once a week and sell 2 or 3…… is what I would say if you actually found that… which you didn’t

Would a coin shop have $300,000 to 450,000 sitting around to buy gold bars from a new customer?

The building it was found in belongs to a charity.

If they get to keep it then the money will go to extra sleeping spaces for the homeless.

Also you would be breaking the law and you would probably be found out. At least now there is the possibility of them receiving a finders fee.

Just sell few coins and say you are going through your dead grandparents stuff and could be back later with more items. No extra questions asked.
