A large coin collection buried underground for over 50 years is going up for auction — and it’s expected to fetch more than $100 million. The Traveller Collection features coins that range in age from ancient to modern times and represent more than 100 territories around the globe. Among the collection’s highlights are a 100 ducat gold coin of Ferdinand III of Habsburg, which was minted in 1629, and a set of five Tomans, minted in Tehran and Isfahan in the late 18th and early 19th century. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. A 7.7-magnitude earthquake rocked central Myanmar today, prompting panicked residents to run outside and away from swaying buildings. According to the United States Geological Survey, the powerful temblor struck at a depth of 6 miles near Sagaing city and was followed by several aftershocks, including one of 6.4-magnitude. The tremors were felt as far away as Bangkok, Thailand, where a high-rise building that was under construction collapsed, killing one person and injuring at least 50 others. Additional damage reports are still coming in. After more than four years of civil war, Myanmar is one of Asia’s poorest countries, and it is unclear how it will be able to respond to a major disaster on this scale. The White House has pulled Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be the next ambassador to the UN. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the decision was made to help preserve the GOP’s razor-thin majority in the US House of Representatives. Currently, Republicans hold 218 seats to Democrats’ 213, and there are four vacancies. Multiple sources said some members of the House GOP leadership were stunned by the decision to drop the New York congresswoman and longtime ally of the president as they had already been preparing for a special election. The top Democrat and the Republican chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee have formally requested an inquiry by the Pentagon’s acting inspector general into a group chat where senior national security officials shared plans about a US military attack in Yemen on Signal that inadvertently included a journalist. Since Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, published his articles revealing details of the highly sensitive strike plans, Democrats have been calling for accountability for the incident, which they argue endangered national security and US troops. Some Republicans have described the security breach as a “glitch” and a “mistake,” and want to move on without investigating or punishing the officials involved. On Thursday, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to preserve all messages the officials sent on Signal between March 11 and March 15. President Trump is now targeting the Smithsonian Institution, which he claims advances “divisive narratives.” In an executive order signed on Thursday, Trump expressed his ire about exhibits featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum. He put Vice President JD Vance in charge of overseeing efforts to “remove improper ideology” from all areas of the institution, including its museums, education and research centers and the National Zoo. He also ordered the interior secretary to determine whether public monuments, memorials, statues or markers have been removed or changed since 2020 to “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history” and restore the original ones.
