A searchable archaeological database documenting pre-Qin to early Han coin discoveries across China.

Why it surfaced

This is a substantial research instrument rather than a museum brochure: it records 660,417 coins across 1,496 validated sites and 6,572 find records. Readers can move between mint towns, coin typologies, map visualizations, and searchable ANS museum specimens.

The Two-Tonne Temperature Problem

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-15 Domain Arrivals issue.
