I think in the event of a natural disaster your time would be better spent rescuing people rather than coins or bullion

I've always wondered what happened to all the different types of collectables when such things happen. For example all those Huricanes in our South that distroyed massive areas of homes and buisnesses. And not just hobby type items but new cars, planes, furnature, kitchen items like plates, etc. Oil paintings on walls, clothing, watches and on and on with items we so much charish from day to day.

Well, hopefully my big-arse 600 pound fireproof gun safe will be kinda like the "black box" and it'll survive most disasters (I don't think that those/my safe is water-tight so a flood would actually be worse than an earthquake, meteor or atomic bomb ... hmmmm, it's actually kinda nasty to think about it, eh? ...

=> but I agree with trout1105 => although I love my coins, I'm pretty sure that the surrounding carnage and desperation would win-out over my greed to protect my "precious" coins!

=> oh, and my big arse safe, stuffed full of wonderful coins would merely be "a wonderful ancient find" in the year 2305 ... right?
