We are concerned that overzealous Customs Bureau agents may unfairly misconstrue even well-meaning regulations by mistakenly claiming that any undocumented ancient coin is a stolen cultural property artifact of another country," said PNG Executive Director Robert Brueggeman.
"This is a frustrating and ironic situation," said PNG President Paul Montgomery. "The U.S. already has agreements with Cyprus and China that hinder the importation of coins that may have widely circulated centuries ago and, in fact, are now easily available...
