Sometime in 1788, a keg of Fugio cents was acquired by the bank and stored in the basement.
The coins were forgotten until they were rediscovered in 1856, this time at the bank's current location.
The find was important to collectors who wished to obtain a mint state example of the coin.
[3][2] The bank kept 819 of the remaining coins which range in grade from mint state to corroded due to past water damage while in storage.
Despite the merger which led to the bank's closure in 2007, it was reported in 2013 that the coins still remain on the property.
