Jay,
I have been rereading the fascinating history of Mitsui and company.

amazon.com

In his will, the patriarch emphasized to the following generations that the real objective of their business
dealings was to turn working capital into real wealth for the clan.

His definition of real wealth was "cellar gold and silver" that would withstand all potential political and economic upheavals. The cellars were secret storehouses dug into the ground.

So it seems that your friend's comment "it is written in the Torah" and your collecting of gold coins is the ultimate long game.

It has served the Mitsuis well for 350 years.
