One of the things I have enjoyed in my short time as a collector is the &quot;physicality&quot; of it. </p><p>There is something to be said about actually holding something of value in your hand. I don&#039;t get the same feeling looking at a bank statement or financial summary. Be it bullion or rare coins you can pick it up and take it with you and the inherent value remains the same. No account number, photo ID, or PIN number required. All the talk of trillion dollar budgets and billion dollar executive bonuses its like we&#039;ve become unhinged with the actual <b>value</b> of things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
