A common way to produce Plot Coupons of the 'Gotta Catch Em All' variety is for the Precursors to split a powerful MacGuffin that was used to defeat the bad guy into three or more parts and, yes, distribute them across the world on a vague premise of it being "too dangerous to ever use again". Then, when the bad guy raises its head Exty Years Later (and it always does), the heroes must set out to reassemble said MacGuffin. If said artifact was disassembled because there was a good chance that evil would get their hands on it in the present, this overlaps with Fling a Light Into the Future.
