[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]not much cash,  less than a couple hundred bucks,  but nearly a pound of gold coins.[/quote]

I'm intrigued. I've thought about purchasing gold, in case we get to a point where currency is pointless.  What made you decide to purchase them?  Where did you purchase the gold coins?  How much is each gold coin worth?  How do you envision yourself using them?[/quote]

you can buy on line, or you can go to just about coin store/pawn shop to buy gold coins.

I have Krugerrands and Canadian Maple Leafs.  all one ounce probably 12-14 ounces.  I have a few American gold pieces. making up the remaining few ounces  Rands and Leafs seem to hold value better than american coins

the down side was I purchased back when gold was around 1300 an ounce.  so if I sold out now  Id loose money.  but in an emergency  you don't really care about the cash value.  you need something and gold talks.

Nice thing is that a tube of 16 Krugerrands weighing one pound has a huge cash value,  takes up no space.  and god forbid if your house burns down,  you now have a one lb gold ingot, still having tremendous value.  a $10,000 stack of bills after a house fire, worthless.

I've purchased mine from Cameo Gold in Vienna[/quote]
