At least its a chance.

I should point out here that, volume for volume, gold is a more effective radiation shield than lead. So, we have that going for us.

 

statistically speaking

 

with proper preparation I'm sure your coins can be saved.

 

Funny

 

You know it's coming when you notice Dr. Strangelove has replaced Lady Liberty on the ASE.

 

unfortunately I don't think will fare as well for him. Very few live through nuclear holocausts. I for one, wouldn't want to.

 

There are containers rated to protect against nuclear blasts. They will also work in case of a fire in your house.

 

Heck when there is a nuclear war. I am taking all my coins and stuffing them inside the warhead of the "Atomic Cannon !" I just love to go duck hunting with this thing.

Very, very funny.

 

I'm not sure that putting your coins into a safety deposit box can help. You better off putting them into a faradays box inside a bunker.

 

If you think that is funny, see FEMA's website. They are very serious about saving yourself and your possessions.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

 

Irradiated silver only becomes radioactive for a brief time, but I believe irradiated gold forms an a long lived radioactive isotope that would be hazardous for a LONG time.

 

Time heals all.


For those that do not get my wry hummer this is a current view of Nagasaki.

 

But the main thing is to prevent it from being melted in the blast.

 

Just hide it all out in the middle of the desert (away from military installations).

 

Yes central Nevada might work. Maybe make it a exhibit here......http://www.nationalatomictestingmuseum.org/

 

Near the missile sillos designed to withstand a nuclear attack?
