A coin collector in San Francisco is hiding $10,000 worth of rare coins around town for people to uncover.
Seth Chandler set up the scavenger hunt, which began on Friday, to get more people interested in collecting coins and to educate them.
He owns Witter Coin in the Marina District and is giving away five gold, five silver and one copper coin which each range from $250 to $2,500 in value.
'I thought of the idea to place 11 different coins, all made in San Francisco, in 11 different neighborhood,' he told KTVU.
Chandler expected they would be found within a few hours but by Friday evening only six of the 11 were picked up.
