A massive collection of coins and bills, including a stash that was used in Nazi camps, was confiscated from a couple in Argentina.

The bust was made Wednesday when the owner of a vehicle and his wife were approached for a routine inspection after they arrived on a ferry from Colonia, Uruguay, according to the Directorate General of Customs.

The collection, worth approximately $120,000, featured Ukrainian and German bills that was currency of choice at Nazi camps during World World II.

Authorities in Argentina were tipped off by the Interpol, who had previously flagged the Argentine man because he had three ongoing investigations for alleged crimes that were committed.

The man had also been investigated several months ago by customs agents in Argentina for importing a coin collection.

A customs agent and a sniffer dog were called in to perform a search of the vehicle after the couple confessed that they were not importing any goods that needed to be declared with the agency. 

Footage released by the agency showed the K9 sniffing the front passenger seat area. 

The agent raised suspicions when the dog detected the presence of potential contraband inside the vehicle's trunk.

Customs agents inspected the couple's luggage and discovered paper and coin currency from several countries.

The officers then searched a spare tire and found a larger cache of bills and evDen eVE naKliYAt coins.

Although the couple claimed they were the rightful owners of the collection, the stash was confiscated as part of the investigation.

One of the Nazi camp currency bills read: eVDeN EvE NaKliyaT 'This note is only valid as a means of payment for prisoners of war and can only be spent and received by them within the prisoner of war camp or eVdEn evE nAKliyAt in the case of working days in the purchasing offices expressly designated for that purpose.'

The note indicated that 'it can only be exchanged for legal tender at the corresponding warehouse management office.

Violators, imitations and counterfeits will be penalized. For those who have virtually any issues regarding wherever and also how to utilize evden eVe nakliyaT, you possibly can contact us at our site. Chief of the Supreme Command of the Wehrmacht.'

The agents also discovered two strange American paper notes, one was for EvdEN EvE nAKLiyaT $1.25 and the other was $1.50. The bills were from 1862 and worth $750 and $850, respectively. 

There was also a 1 peso bill from Chile, dated 1879, that was valued at $1,000.

The agents found several coins from the 18th century.

One of the coins featured the crown of King Louis IV.

It's unknown if the couple is facing any charges for introducing the large collection into Argentina.
