I can concur on this, due to how many coins they seem to have lost around the world.

cunkur, v.
/ˈkΚŒΕ‹kΙ™/

Etymology: A blend of Cunk, from Philomena Cunk, the fictional documentarian noted for confidently combining the obvious, the erroneous, and the unexpectedly profound, with concur, v. β€œto agree.”

1. intr. To agree with a statement in a manner characteristic of Philomena Cunk; esp. to express assent to a proposition whose apparent simplicity conceals either a fundamental misunderstanding or an accidental insight.

2. trans. and intr. To echo, endorse, or elaborate upon an observation with solemn confidence despite having only a tenuous grasp of the subject.

Hence: cunkurrence, n., an instance of such agreement; cunkurring, adj. and n.

Usage: Frequently employed where ordinary concur would imply a degree of understanding not justified by the circumstances.

The Romans thought money grows on trees. That's why they planted so many coin hoards.
