To its 40th anniversary and National Coin Week, U.S. Coins & Jewelry<\/a><\/strong> is inviting Houstonians to rediscover the thrill of a treasure hunt with a modern twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting April 21, 2025, the Greater Houston area transforms into a playground for numismatists, collectors, and everyday adventurers.

A Modern Treasure Hunt for Collectors and Families<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“We wanted this year\u2019s treasure hunt to reflect the communities that have supported us for four decades,” said co-owner Matthew Duncan. By expanding beyond the city limits, U.S. Coins & Jewelry ensures that more Houstonians can join the fun, while also sparking new interest in coin collecting across generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day, participants can track new clues revealed on Instagram via @uscoinsandjewelry<\/a> and @findthecashhouston<\/a>. The first person to solve the clues and locate a hidden treasure wins the prize\u2014a genuine piece of history that they can either keep or redeem for its full market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviving the Hobby of Kings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Coin collecting is a timeless hobby\u2014often called the ‘hobby of kings,'” said co-owner Kenny Duncan Jr..
