There must be an easier way, I thought.
And indeed there is: Buy nickels.
Probably not as good as youd like.
It always seems like an uphill battle to build (and keep) a decent amount in savings.
But what if your car breaks down, or you have a sudden medical bill?
Consider American nickels as assets.
If your house burned down, they would survive the fire, unlike paper money.
This means that every box of nickels costs the U.S. Mint $75.86 in metals alone.
Eventually, todays cupro-nickel nickels could be a rarity sought out by treasure hunters.
Another drawback to collecting nickels is their size and weight.
If youre collecting a large number, theyll quickly start to take up space in your home.
