Male - ChristianCoins from Era of Biblical Joseph Found in Egypt?
It's still in the very early stages of the claim (so could very well prove to be incorrect)
But Dr. Sa'id Muhammad Thabet claims that his team has identified some objects, previously thought to be charms, as coins from Joseph's time.

This is intriguing on two counts, one, it is commonly believed that Egypt was still operating on a barter system way back when, and secondly should they prove to be coins from Joseph's time, they would serve as confirmation of the Biblical account of Joseph."If you can ever make any major religion look absolutely ludicrous, chances are you haven't understood it"

It seems to be a hoax, probably to defend the Qur'anic claim that there were "coins" used at the time of Joseph:

It does. Though, I will admit I got my hopes up that this was something authentic ... drat it all.
