What? You talking about Canada or Rhodesia?

I helped a woman cash in some gold coins a couple of years ago. Her partner had sold a house in the US and converted the money to gold in a Canadian safety deposit box in 2001 (at $250 US per oz).

The box tray was quite impressive; row after row of gold Maple Leafs in little plastic tubes, 10 to a tube. We took five tubes down to my coin dealer friend and voila, down payment for another house for she and her significant other.

I scared her on the trip over from Oak Bay to the coin dealer by putting them all on the dash of her car.

"Don't worry, people will think it's rolls of quarters for the tolls."

She never called me back, even though I got her a really good price. So many people take themselves far too seriously.
