Nordland Museum, Bodø submitted by PAB : Collection of Silver items from the Viking Age on display in Nordland Museum, Bodø.
This is described in the museum's brochure as being one of the biggest treasures from the Viking Age found in Northern Norway.
It was found by chance in 1919, hidden in a scree and wrapped in birch bark. The coins / money are a mixture of both Anglo-Saxon (5) and Arabic (47) origin.

Banking apps are becoming increasingly popular in recent years, as the Neobanking market continues to grow annually, as fintech start-ups seek to provide exclusively online solutions to banking that traditional legacy banks do not accommodate to usually. The primary goal of banking applications especially those that are available on mobile devices is to provide users with remote access to their banking and finance solutions from anywhere in the world so that they do not have to visit a physical banking branch. This provides ease of use, more effective and efficient banking, and finally, it can provide faster access to banking as the user does not have to visit a physical location which in certain cases can be an issue if the user is far away from a physical banking branch - such as those that live in remote areas.

Building a banking app can be broken down into various parts of the banking app development stage. These can be broken down into the following major stages: research and planning, UI/UX design stages, and tech stack to use for the mobile banking application.
Research and Planning of Banking App Development:
Research and planning can be broken into two stages: the first stage is research which involves finding out what the banking app needs to do as well as what features it should have. This includes finding out what banking services are available to consumers and banks, determining how they are provided, researching customer needs, defining user personas, and gathering information on competitors and market trends. The second stage of research is planning which involves developing a plan for creating a mobile banking application that meets the needs of the fintech start-up.
UI/UX Design of Banking App Development:
The general process for designing UI/UX for a banking app is as follows: first, the app team should meet with the client to discuss their needs, gather information about what the client has already done or has planned to do, and plan out how they want to use some of their existing processes. If an app is not designed according to this plan, it will be difficult for them to create a workable design. This phase can also include brainstorming ideas and wireframes with stakeholders (users) who will be using the software. The next step is developing a wireframe that can be used to get feedback from stakeholders. The wireframes are tested for usability and clarity, then refined as needed. The final design phase consists of sketching out how a user would interact with the product, weaving it in with the original UI/UX plan created earlier on. As an alternative to UX design, UX architecture describes how people should interact with something through their interactions and activity. The UI is a part of the User Experience Design, which is the combination of a user and an experience. User experience designers’ study human behaviour in relation to a product or service, whereby they create experiences through interactions.
Tech Stack of Banking App Development:
Technology and the way it is used have changed significantly over the past decade. This has led to an increase in different types of technology, specifically software. A key trend in banking app development today is that technology is changing business models, products, and services while disrupting industries. In banking app development, this means a shift from a closed system to an open one with new platforms and rules of engagement. As a result of these changes, the industry must innovate through agility and experimentation over the establishment of strict controls and guidelines. When creating a banking app, start-ups must discuss and decide on a tech stack such as programming languages and program architecture that will be used to develop the app for mobile devices.
