<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ilmcoins, post: 3287910, member: 85172&quot;]I suppose you could have this conversation about anything we buy. My wife recently wanted a $5,000 couch. My argument against the couch was that the same $5,000 would be worth over $20,000 in retirement savings if added to one of our accounts.&nbsp; As I post this, I am enjoying the comfort of HER couch!&nbsp; Inflation will continue on and the couch will quickly depreciate and will probably have zero value in the future.&nbsp; It is on the same path as our cars, cell phones, televisions, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins are not a good investment vehicle but at least they are a better use for money than most of the other &quot;stuff&quot; we buy!&nbsp; Even if they dont keep up with inflation, keeping your money in money is only outranked by perhaps stocks,&nbsp; real estate, education, your kids, and pethaps a few other things!&nbsp; Any gains from your $5k half dollar purchase will be higher than that same money could have made sitting in your bank or spent on a depreciating asset.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
