I have always wanted my own island, but I probably would do all of the above minus the 1804 $10 gold.

I voted move out of the country. Ever since I went to New Zealand, I have wanted to move there. So if I had 5 million I would be gone as soon as I could pack up all my coins

I'd probably put a couple of mill in a silver ETF. I have a lot of faith in long term silver and zero faith in stocks, real estate or bonzo benny and the feds.

Tough question, I usually don't think of such things. No interest in leaving the country, collecting cars, living on an island or retiring. Probably do a little of all the other options.

Coin/Coffee shop I like it.
Needs to have a very complete library of Coin type books for browsing/buying.
comfortable couch's -- Meeting room for the coin club

Not for profit...

I'd be boring. I'd invest it in a very low-risk investments and live off of the interest. At a mere 5%, that gives me $250,000/year to live on, play with, travel, buy coins, start a business, buy my own island, mint my own coins, et. You get the idea.

I would take the 5 million and move out of the country. I always liked Italy and wouldn't mind living in Firenze. I would be able to spend more time on my ancient Roman coin collection.

I'd retire and travel, buying coins everwhere I visited.

I regularly play the lottery hoping the pipe dream of becoming an instant millionare will come true. First I'd quit my job and "retire". Second, pay off all debts and immediate family member's debts. Third would be to diversify my investments to allow my family to live off of the interest. Fourth would be the big purchases stage; house, truck, celebratory vacation, etc. Fifth would be to reconstruct my life since I'd have 8 more hours a day from NOT working an 8-5 job! I'd definitely speed up my coin collecting and other hobbies, get new hobbies, and visit some hobbies I haven't done in a while.

... now back to reality!
