A little gold(St Gaudin's), platinium(Aussie Koala) and some Morgan silver dollars rattling around in the old safe deposit box.

10% interest in a non working Colorado gold mine anyone.

Ah - the 1970's in Colorado. Passed on the Morman idea of seven years supply of freeze dryed food - the small meals that came out for backpackers weren't bad.

I do vaguely remember a discussion with a lead engineer at Boeing in the late 60's as to the proper method of crossing borders with the family fortune(his parents beat Mao out of China). Metal/metal detectors can make things iffy at times - Jade carvings and precious/semi precious stones definitely have a place in times of turmoil.

heh heh heh - let's hope inflation stays calm and some of the more 'estoric' investment discussion's of my past have no reason to return. I'm getting too old to be looking for 'the last train leaving Berlin.'
