Amazing how archaeology keeps supporting the Bible...

A team of Egyptian archeologists have discovered ancient coins belonging to the era of Prophet Joseph bearing his name and image in the country.

Several coins belong to a period in which Joseph had lived in Egypt and bear his name and portrait. The unprecedented find from the time of the Pharaohs, provides decisive scientific evidence disproving previous theories that ancient Egyptians conducted their trade through barter. NAT/SC/DT

I hope that more information is published about these coins; the research on them should be fascinating. And, I'd love to see pictures, too!

UPDATE: Ah, there's quite a bit more information here.
