<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wolfee, post: 1328885, member: 34986&quot;]Maybe 100 years from now the paper Treasuries will have some numismatic value as all Treasuries are now electronic only.&nbsp; From an investment value you should consider total return as negative, after taxes and inflation.&nbsp; A 5 year Treasury yields under .9% and a 10 year is under 2%.&nbsp; These things are not really investments, they are simply a way to PRESERVE money, not grow it.&nbsp; I would be quite confident that buying collectible US coins from the Mint will exceed the total return of any ibond, savings bond or Treasury bond you can buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Joey, I manage money for old people.&nbsp; Many of them have in excess of 1 million dollars in a Treasury direct account.&nbsp; They are terrified of taking ANY risk and pay a big price.&nbsp; Mainly, I watch them lose thousands every year to inflation and taxes because they won&#039;t invest in anything.&nbsp; The whole world is irrationally afraid of risk right now and looking for safety.&nbsp; That tells you one thing--take SOME risk and get a better than usual reward.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
