my past interest in numismatics
I used to be interested in numismatics, that is, coin collecting. I think I still have quite a big collection at home that I haven't looked at in many years! Anyway, I saw with interest that the US government is issuing a new gold minted coin, officially a $50 piece, but with a collection value of much more. This is the first time they've issued a pure gold coin for investing and for collecting. It may make a good investment! More at http://www.usmint.gov
