[QUOTE="tommybee, post: 912493, member: 24999"]AFC - I hoard boxes of nickels. Nickels and pre-1982 cents are the only real money in circulation. That is, they are the only currency that is actually worth face (or more) in metal value. Its honest money. I'm hopeful that in 20 years, or less, present day nickels will be worth 5x face (or more - copper is going to go up..when the economy recovers...and it will recover.) Then I'll sell my $100 dollar boxes of nickels for $500 (or more). Could I make more in the stock market, or someplace else? Probably. That's why I invest in the stock market and other things, too. Diversification is key. Nickels and pre-1982 cents are risk free investments. Worst case scenario they are worth exactly what you paid for them. Keep in mind that it is illegal, at the moment, to meld cents and nickels. The biggest problem with hoarding cents and nickels is space. They take up a lot of space. My nickels are doing double duty, though. They help weigh down my safe. I'm hoarding wives, next.[/QUOTE]
