    Because of the U.S. economic crisis the U.S. dallas and Canadian dollar may become as worthless as toilet paper.

    When certificates and other paper instruments collapses, gold is the only safe investment during a Depression.

    During the Great Depression of 1929, the federales locked the doors to all the banks. People put it in a fire-resistant lock box under your mattress.

    Investment and security, along with speculation...the Krugerrand used to be the preferred coin, but the Canadian Maple Leaf has now taken over the #1 spot for gold coinage.....at least that's what I've been led to believe...

    I don't buy sacks of gold.

    $5,000 in gold coins is just for security, nothing else.

    There are some companies that sell you certificates.. You can buy coins and have them shipped to your home and keep them yourselves.

    Cost varies of the price of gold for that day where you buy them, you can purchase the coins via you local bank. BMO, RBC, CIBC

    It's also good for the Canadian economy,the mine I was at the last few years has Canada's purest gold deposit.It should come online within a year,their exploration budget just went up,so did a lot of other junior developer/prospecting outfits.
