    wooduk, so what else will you invest in that can't be lessened in value by printing? The Chinese are buying tons of the stuff for a reason - you can't make any more than already exists, and production is in a steady decline.

    The govt can confiscate your property much easier than your gold. For a start, they know how much property you've got, and where it is. They don't even have to turn up to collect it - just issue you with a notice saying it is now theirs, and your weekly rent will be so much. All in the National Interest, Security etc. of course.

    Also, I would be impressed if you could afford enough for weight to be a problem! $17k worth is about the size of a Jenga block (not quite the size of two standard Lego blocks)and weighs 310gm.
