Too funny. When I was buying gold twenty years ago at a shade more than $200 per ounce I had people deriding me as a loonie and a paranoid. When I was still buying it as the price approached $400 an ounce they were still laughing. Now all of it is worth more than $1,000 per ounce and I’m the one laughing.
sounds like gold is a good investment; does that make it an exclusively good medium for exchange?
You got screwed buddy!
I know what you mean. When I bought gold at $400.00 an ounce, a money manager told me that I can take my bought gold and rub it on my body to make me feel better. That was the only thing it was good for, he opined.

We had the same sort of experience with real silver coins that we bought about nine years ago. We sold some recently at an amazing profit over what we paid for them.
Hah . . we also bought some more silver coins that we kept in a leather bag and my husband used to like to inspect them. Then one night, he placed the bag on a table beside the trash can in our bedroom. Evidently, the bag was inadvertently pushed into the trash off the crowded table top. We paid $1,500 at the time for that bag of silver, and there’s no telling what it would bring today. Maybe someone at the landfill who needs it will find it someday. He still hasn’t learned his lesson about clutter, which drives me nuts - but, oh well.
