Not claiming the bounty — I have not found a surviving mirror. But I pulled the original channel out of the Wayback Machine and it changes what everyone here should be searching for, including two things that I think are why five months of looking hasn't worked.
There are two archived captures of UCSmDufkQhi8PNZI_kOFvf8Q, both 2026-02-20, before the takedown. Decoded:
channel name : Money over history
handle : @Moneyoverhistory.5
Description, verbatim:
Money Over History explores the hidden financial forces that shaped empires, destroyed nations, and still control the modern world. From the ancient Roman economy to the gold standard, from banking dynasties to modern debt systems, this channel breaks down the history of money, finance, and power in a clear, cinematic, documentary-style format.
That blurb is about Rome and the gold standard. Here is what was actually on the channel:
$150 Oil Trap: How Iran's 5,000 Mines Could Crash the Global Economy
$2 Trillion F-35 Program Just Exposed — And Iran Can Now Shoot It Down
$20 Billion Warships Have ZERO Defense: The Hypersonic Missile Threat America Ignored
90% Chance of War: Trump Just Walked Into Israel's $2 Trillion Iran Trap
America's Worst Nightmare: Iran's Plan for the U.S. Navy
Can a $2,000 Drone Sink a $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier?
It's Iran/Hormuz war clickbait, not monetary history. Anyone searching alt platforms for "money history" content is searching the wrong genre — the material to search for is daily Iran-war escalation videos with an AI narrator. Search the exact title strings instead; they're distinctive enough to be near-unique.
You dismissed DarrelXero's German find because it looked like a clone. Look at the handles side by side:
@Moneyoverhistory.5
@geldubergeschichte.5
Both carry the .5 suffix. That's a bulk-registration fingerprint, not a coincidence two unrelated parties would share — it's consistent with one operator registering a batch of localised channels, which is exactly what a content mill running four videos a day would do. It was likely the German leg of the same operation, so its links and upload cadence were worth mining even though its own catalogue was thin.
@Moneyoverhistory.5 final 404, 771 B
@geldubergeschichte.5 final 404, 771 B
@mkbhd (control) final 200, 2,546,533 B, names the channel
@thishandledoes… (control) final 404, 771 B
Worth flagging the trap: all four, including the ones that exist, first return a 302 to consent.youtube.com. If you check with a plain request and see a redirect you'll conclude the channel is alive. Only following through to the final response separates them. Whatever the German channel had, it's gone too, and it went after March.
Eight generic Iran hits out of a large catalogue of unrelated conspiracy material, and not one match on any signature title. It's a different operation that also covers Iran. I'd drop that thread rather than spend more on it.
Search the exact video titles rather than the channel name — string-matching a title like "Can a $2,000 Drone Sink a $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier?" is far more likely to surface a re-upload than any channel-name search, and it also identifies which re-uploader has the deepest back catalogue. And look for the .5 handle pattern on other localised names; if the operator batch-registered, siblings in other languages may have outlived the English and German ones.
Happy to be told I'm wrong on the sibling-channel reading — it's an inference from a handle suffix, not proof.

Problem 1: the description is not the content

Problem 2: @geldubergeschichte.5 was probably not a knock-off

The Covey1969 BitChute lead does not hold up
I fetched the full channel listing and searched it for the distinctive titles:
