<There are actually certain rare seashells that might work better than gold. It would be easier to take them through customs and they would be less likely to be stolen.>

ROFL... take them to SchweitzericheKreditanstalt in Geneva and exhange 'em for Swiss Francs!

< Gold and driveway gravel are both fungible because a bucket of each is the equivalent of any other same-sized bucket of each.>

Yes, which is not true of seashells... :) One of which might be rare.

Last year I bought some physical gold, U.S. Eagles, and sold it later in the year, and lost money on the deal because of the hefty premium you pay buying and selling - around $10 a coin each way. Also, coin dealers are sort of few and far between. The nearest one to me is an hour away. Some people just love owning gold. It made me nervous.
