The "Raindrop Race Wager" is a historical anecdote about two aristocrats in 1890 who made a bet on which of two raindrops would hit the bottom of a window first. The loser of the wager, an aristocrat from Dorset, England, had to pay 5 pounds. The coins from this payment, 4,800 farthings, were found in the Crichel House cache over a century later, and are now highly valued by numismatists due to their unique history.
