<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1208253, member: 29012"]I can only speak from personal experience which is that any fund that I invest in through my broker requires a minimum contribution of $1,000. If you are doing it on your own I would try calling around banks which can order foreign currency for you. You could also try your nearest international airport or a money exchange. Fees likely vary. </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I wouldn't put much into this though. The bubble in the DOW/GOLD ratio is on its way back down to very low numbers, and I just don't think any paper will be a sound storage of wealth as things progress. Even the Chinese Yuan which is commonly noted as having high interest rates compared to the rest of the fiat currencies is still in negative real interest rate territory when accounting for inflation. I'm not saying diversification isn't a good idea, but I'd be surprised to see any currency outperform metals over the long haul. Although I do like Sweden's situation since they're not in the Euro, and of course the Swiss Franc will probably do well since the banks there run most other central banks. I also like the outlook for the Australian Dollar since they have a strong manufacturing base.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
