Save for the Future

My grandfather is a collector of coins and bullions.  He hides them inside a wooden box, under a loose floor board at this room, just like during the war.  He used to tell us stories how he got the different coins and bullions in his collection.  At that time, I never thought that those coins had any significant value, that it only reminded him of his childhood days.  I mean, it’s not like someone will buy them.

But that was a wrong impression done by a kid who knew nothing about the true worth of such coins and bullions.  While browsing one time on the internet, I saw something that surprised me. There was an advertisement of a museum who is willing to buy gold at a price I never imagined.  Aside from that , they are also willing to buy bullion at a much higher price!  I then remembered my grandfather saying that he used to buy gold coins during the 1960’s, and during the 1970’s, he started to buy gold bullion.  And by today, he never expected that the value of these gold coins and bullions will amount to half a million dollars! Maybe I should buy gold coin and save for the future.
