<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 24868039, member: 31286&quot;]I&#039;m holding some bullion type coins in addition to more collectable stuff, mostly old gold.&nbsp; I will sell when a. all other money is worthless and it can be traded for essential goods, or b.&nbsp; if I need the funds for something else and have no other resources.&nbsp; And if I never sell, I will leave them to my children and their children, perhaps for college.&nbsp; I give financial/investment advice sometimes - only when asked - I usually have the same answer: diversify, save, don&#039;t spend any more money than you have to on consumer goods (including automobiles and housing)&nbsp; and outside of that, only buy things that have good long term potential for resale, i.e., not junk.&nbsp; You can never know what circumstances will be in the future....&nbsp; I was curious so I asked the bank &quot;if the power grid went down would people still be able to get into their safety deposit boxes?&quot;&nbsp; Answer, &quot;yes&quot;.&nbsp; Whether that would matter or not, I don&#039;t know, but good to know it would likely be possible.&nbsp; I have a friend who traded her last gold trinket&nbsp; - to bribe a guard -&nbsp; to get out of the Warsaw Ghetto when the trains were being loaded up for the trip to Auschwitz.&nbsp; Wow!&nbsp; Good trade, huh?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
