    I don't know where I got this URL from (could have even been from here) but I find it fascinating. I especially find video #9 and #10 interesting.

    I did not see the fish tackle box in the closet like I have. Now that's security, but as I said once before, the safest place is the vegetable bin in the refrig, no one ever looks there.

    What better place than the cat box? Who wants to dig through alleged cat poo to pilfer coins? Gotta hide stuff in disgusting places that nobody would in their right mind would put things they don't taken.

    I think that's better that my veggy bin. Through a couple of scorpions on top of that.

    Aw just put the coin vault under the Rottie dog run. I don't think people would even bother. Scarier than dirty litter boxes at least. :D

    Though I have faulted safe deposit boxes as imperfect they are really the way to go.

    Until the bank gets taken over by the government, and the government eventually wants to seize all the contents. "To be opened only in the presence of an IRS agent".

    You do not have to have a cat to have a cat box, and it doesn't even have to be real poo, that is precisely why they make Tootsie Rolls - people have been making poo out of them since they were invented.

    If you do have cats, make sure that the wannabee cat box is somewhere the cats have no access too. Cats have a way of making impromptu cat boxes all by their little selves.

    I don't have a cat but the catbox is a great idea. I'm going to buy one then then bury my coins it it. Cat litter has a "drying" quality will the drying quality damage the coins?

    Seal them in something else - like wrap them in aluminium foil or something.

    I bought a GSA Carson City silver dollar in the 1970's and hid it so well
    that I can not find it now.

    foodsaver works well for sealing coins air tight and putting in places things should normally not be. i use them for a variety of items, including firearms and ammunition. not to mention, it makes leftovers stay tasty a week later.
     
  19. I started collecting when my brother found my late father's stash of coins...hidden directly behind (and against!) the heater in the back room of the basement, so small and cramped you can't even stand upright in there.

    It's really amazing our house never burned down, on the other side of the heater were old paint cans.

    Well now the lurkers know where to look.:) How about a gun safe? That works for me.
