<p>[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1872216, member: 38849"]Safety-deposit boxes are so cheap, especially at credit unions, that you might as well get one now and put everything inside that you don't want to look at every day. For instance, down the line, a 5 x 10 box (way bigger than you'll need) is $42 per year at my credit union, and that size will just hold $1000 face in junk silver. When filled, it will weigh roughly 68 pounds, so choose one about 18 to 24 inches off the floor, not one where you have to reach over your head. In case the vault room floods (an actual flood or defective sprinkler, etc.), don't get a box in the very bottom row.</p><p><br /></p><p>The smallest size shouldn't run more than $22 or so; a bank will charge double that amount. Folks can save a LOT of money by "banking" at a credit union. Don't select a state-chartered credit union - their deposit insurance is shaky, IMO. Your homeowner's or tenant insurance does NOT cover the contents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
