Long ago, when money was really money, and I was a teenager, I paid a bank to keep my money safe for me. Or that's the way I looked at it then.

Large-denomination Swiss bonds are harder to steal, don't look criminal, and much easier to store than piles of cash. Just try counting through a wad of 100 100-SFranc notes to make sure they are all there. My holdings are travelers checks that I got fee-free from AAA.

I didn't mention France in the 1780s because of course that was the Revolution and we don't have a king or nobility to get rid of in this country. It is perhaps uncharitable to imagine guillotining various bankers or politicians, but I can't help it.
